Default koni install

I am buying rear Koni's from a member here and am wondering if I will need to do a wheel allinement after install. I am sure you would on the front but is it needed when changing the rears.

Not for the rears, but definitely for the front...

How long will it take to change them out and is it a simple job for a part time wrench.

It's a simple job, a 22mm bolt for the trailing arm and a nut/bolt (both 19's) at the top and you've got them out and in. Takes about an hour the first time around, you may have to use the jack to lift the trailing arms up enough to get the bottom bolt hole to line up right.

Pretty easy job. Just got them installed today. I was told they were set on the stiffest setting so that is where I left them. I went for a drive and it seemed to be a little more stable in the rear but have not done any hard cornering yet. Are my oem 968's struts worth anything? Are they an update on a 944 and can they be used on a 944?
