if youre going to fit them yourself, let me know, i might be able to help...
Thanks for the offer man. I'll see what they can offer me.

Yeah, I read that about the rears as well. What level have you adjusted your rears to? I want to uprate them over stock. So, I'm guessing somewhere between medium and the hardest....if there is such a level of adjustment?

ive got mine set to just under hardest on the rear ... and for what i need the car to do at the moment, its pretty rough... i dont fang my car around nearly as much as i used to so im going to be changing the rears to around medium to soft... i have the front on soft and its not like it bounces around... its still pretty tight... IMO koni's on a relatively soft setting still provide me with what i need out of the car ... until i take it to the track or something... but primarily as a commuter, medium to soft is fine i reckon...

i guess its all a matter of deciding what you want out of the car, and trying different settings to see what fits

cheers

Hey man, if you're serious (except for the bit about me paying!), let me know. If you and Jiwan are in as well, I can try to get a better discount.

Currently, for a set of 4, you're looking at $1100 cash (not fitted). But the other thing is Koni is out of stock until November. Price is cheaper than Topperformance in Victoria and Whiteline.

Let me know mate.

Thanks for the tip man. I guess I'll go medium at the rears then, and like you said, don't want to be bouncing around. Excellent.
