Koni install??
I did a search for this, but didn't find anyone with a decent answer. So...I just got my Koni Yellows in, and in the coming week I plan to install them along with my Type-R springs. My question is, the instructions that came with the Yellows are very vague, and merely show a bunch of pictures. So where can I go to find detailed instruction of an install involving some Koni Yellows and perhaps some sport springs? Thanks for all the help!

Hope this helps some. If you need tools, you can always do it at my house!

I'm sure you'll figure it out fine even without someone with knowledge there to help you. When I put mine in, I started while my friend (with prior knowledge) was on his way becuase I was impatient. Well I started working, and I had the whole front done before he even got there, it was a piece of cake (just don't break the bolt off in the rear LCA like I did and you'll be fine
)

I was just looking over the struts today, and I have a few more questions. First, how do you move the spring perch lower? I see there is a removable ring that fits into those notches, but how do I get that off to move it to the lowest notch (thats the one I want if I want the biggest drop possible right?)? Second, I was twisting the now on top to make it firmer and softer and such, but it seemed as if it never stopped rotating. Koni says to stop when you feel resistance, but I definately never encountered any "resistance." Typically how many times does it turn? Thanks.

as for the spring perch, I have no idea....I couldn't get that thing off myself...so I just left it where it was.
