Koni Order Placed

[Doctor Fishtail]

My order confirmation tells me rears will be here April 8th and the fronts will be here April 22nd. Got a rockin price!! Kinda sucks have to wait 2 weeks after rears get here. Finally can get this suspension in order.

Once we get 'em, we can finally give wheel hop the middle finger.

LOL. No doubt. I have had Konis before and they are pretty damn good. I might install the rears when they get here and have the rear done when the fronts get here. :ford: I have the Ford Racing struts/shocks installed now but they do not compare to the Koni setup. I will put them back in the box and sell them they have 200 miles of use.

PM me when you sell those, may be interested.

I cancelled Koni order. Called them Monday and something was going on with the order. Defective or shipping container fell off the ship. Could not get a clear answer but they have been delayed again. I would rather have the Bilstiens anyway.

That sucks! Bilstiens will be great no doubt but usually more costly too.

With as crappy as Ford made our rear IRS I am happy to pay a little more to get a better ride that performs. Not looking for a grandma ride hell we already have that and that is our problem.

 

[15RRGT]

Agreed!

Guys I'm thinking about picking up the Koni Kit with the Eibach pro springs from Steeda and I have a few questions. Will I need anything else with this setup? Camber plates or bolts? On Steeda's site it says that it's a 7 hour install and that seems like a really long time to install shocks, struts, and springs. Shouldn't this take closer to 3 or 4 hours?

I think but not sure that if you order the Konis with Pro kit it is already assembled from Steeda. If so you would not need a spring compressor for fronts. The rears are a bit easier. The only problem with rears is to take out spring and then install you need to lower subframe a good inch. I have my wife put all her weight on wheel hub to give me more room for spring removal and install.

I had a shop do my springs because they are the ones that do my alignment. They said the rear springs on this car took quite a while. Although I didn't have them at the time, when I have the dampers installed, I'm going to have him put in the BMR camber bolts. The camber at 1" drop wasn't bad but I'd rather adjust it to about -1.3, caster seemed fine.

Before/After install for mine:
L-Front R-Front Specified Range
Camber -1.8/-1.9 -2.0/-2.0 -2.5 - 0.5
Caster 7.6/7.6 7.3/7.3 6.5 - 8.0
Toe -0.23/0.07 -0.26/0.03 0.00 - 0.20

L-Rear R-Rear Specified Range
Camber -2.0/-2.0 -2.0/-1.9 -3.0 - 0.0
Toe 0.18/0.17 0.04/0.04 -0.02 - 0.22

The rear camber is adjustable. I'm going to have him set it at:

Front camber: -1.3 (Requires camber bolts)
Rear camber: -1.6 (adjustable)


** Wow, spaces didn't come out at all on this, makes it hard to read.

Nice addition!

I got a new confirmation from Tire Rack - will hit their warehouse on 5/9.

I ordered a Pro Kit/Koni package from AutoAnything and every 10 days or so I get a notification it's delayed. I'll wait, but baaaaah my 4x4 needs to get dropped!
