I cant wait... What setting would you guys recommend for street / autocross.
I'm leaning to 1/4 turn from full soft.
Also is full CCW "full soft" and turning CW makes it firmer?
Thanks

Oh, and don't jack the rear tires completely off the ground when you do it. The control arm will actually hang lower than the shock will let it therefore the shock is actually holding the control arm up. Learned that one the hard way. You'll see what I mean when you do it.

I remember when mine were gone - OEM on my car. Went to Porsche and ask them for new ones: That will be $2000 for the pair. This is UK guys - not a cheap place to live in... I said NOOOOOOOOOOOO thanks. Had them refurbished by Koni UK for $80 each.
They were better than new again and I had a big happy smile on my face - and still have 40K later!

did you get them from 81MotorSports in Miami, FL? http://www.eightyonemotorsports.com/
They have the lowest prices I could find on the Koni rears....bought mine through ebay 2 months ago no hassle.
