Default Full Koni Active Refresh on My 996

Greetings all,
The first part of my latest video series was dropped yesterday. If you've ever had interest in these shocks you should check out the video. I'm refreshing front and rear (front video first). Then I'll be taking it on the road (I live in Houston, so not very many curvy roads around here) to check out the handling. I've already driven her and w/o spoiling the results, I'm VERY happy. Check it out!

Thanks! I know I have to please a pretty high intelligence level of people. Unlike those BMW folks. 🤣

Yeah, the full suspension refresh I did on my 996 was very worth it to me as well. Nice job.

Thank you!
I'm planning on sticking my GoPro in the wheel well and drive it around for some good b-roll footage but then some dude named Nicholas decided to come visit and make everything wet.

Well done! Thanks for sharing, nice and soothing voice and fun to watch.

Just a suggestion add, torque specs in the vid and other required specs in the bottom or side or do a small frame showing it.

As a matter of fact I’ve got a video recorded covering the front drains and cleaning out the carnage. I covered the cabriolet drains in my convertible top videos.

Thanks for this video. I have these Special Actives sitting in their boxes in my garage just waiting to be installed. I just need to finish acquiring ($$$) all the other pieces.
