Koni's showed up today!
I have always been pleased with the handling of my car but the KYB's that are on it have been on it for some unknown amount of time before I purchased it 9 years ago. It is time for an upgrade. This should work.

Very nice  My 92 is in need of shocks & struts too. Maybe this spring I'll have enough to get some Tokicos like the 89 has, I also want to replace the stock springs.

The lip on on your cross-laces is so shinney! I found myself staring for a while... lol I have had the KYB's on my 'bird for a while now, it rides better than any other third gen Ive ridden in.
they rank pretty good for quality right?

Probably this weekend. Been daily driving the sled quite a bit the last few weeks. Just reminded me that the shocks/struts are shot and I have been flirting with these for a while. If everything holds together I am pretty much set for doing the driving school at PIR. Get some lap days in like you did with the vette!

Most have been pretty pleased with the handling of my car. I think that for the money the KYB's are a good deal.

Very nice mike. Hopefully I'll get my KYB GR2's on front before dyno.
Paul came over tonight and we did some final tuning and that bad boy finally came to life!
Wheee.....

Awesome! You'll have a smile on your face for weeks!
FYI, Don't hit on your instructor no matter how attractive she is. |

Let's just say I have a knack for hitting on women that will be deciding my fate. I've done it to a judge and a prosecuting attorney too.  |
