i've been wanting to get some coilovers and new shocks for awhile. talked to the people at ground control and they said you have to do some cutting and retrofitting with the old strut cartridges in order use the koni shocks. also on the koni web site it says some cutting and fitting is req'd before i start the project i'd like to know if i can finish it myself. i've seen lots of rides with the koni shocks can anyone who's done the swap write up a diy on it. pretty please

lol, simple he says. Maybe for 96+ owners out there. Apparently (according to Charlie) 94-95 had a different amount of spacers in the rear between the strut mount and the shock shaft. This leads to a rather annoying clicking sound that's unbearable. Buying some washers from ACE helps assuage the issue, but it's still annoying. Also, if you have a convert, don't even bother, I've been down that path
