took a quick test ride up Stunt Road in the Santa Monica Mountains and those new front Konis are terrific. I should have done this a long long time ago. I have the konis in my garage for almost a year!!! What was I waiting for?

It only took a couple of hours to replace the fronts. Really a suprisingly easy job. I set the Konis at a little more than halfway on the rebound damping. There are 2.5 turns of adjustment., I set it at 1.5 from soft towards the stiffest.

So I have Konis on the front and on the rear I have a 1.5 inch spacer preloading the sagged Aero springs, and I have replaced the upper lateral bushings on the rear.

I will bring the car in for a complete alignment this week.
