i'd repaint those koni's before you put them in...by next spring they'll be mostly rust color w/some yellow paint

Nice work. I just finished putting my new Konis in a couple weeks ago

Ya I was thinking of it but decided not to cause I wanted to keep the original color. I didnt think all the Paint would just decide to fall off one day....

Not sure wut kinda paint I may have to use or color to choose... I will keep it in mind thanks

I am gonna get some spray paint and apply it over the Koni color.... then im gonna spray a clear on. Probably 2 coats color and 1 clear

Just for protection...

Koni and Ground Control have changed there designs a little bit over the years. Those look wonderful.

Nice work. :drool: :drool:

Definitely glad that you painted those. Koni's rust like crazy and you don't want that to happen with no warranty.

Mine are sitting in the garage looking like a pile of scrap metal right now.

I'm jealous! I'm still ordering/waiting on alot of my suspensions parts. Your rear subframe removal guide is going to be very helpful!

Looks real goos Amyn

how are those stazi rear links? does it eliminate the klunking? or just stiffen up the rear sway bar?

I ask because mine are bad, and I was going to replace them sometime next week.

I didnt have ant rear clunking so Im not sure... My other links were shot and they did feel really bad! In comparison to when I put the Stazi endlinks on. I did have some grinding and that is gone!

Hope it helps I never found one! So I took some pics for the future! The only thing you have to watch out for which I havent had a chance to fix yet is the rear control arm(the one that bends/breaks a lot) has a adjustable screw when connecting it to the rear subframe. The nuts should be all the way on the bottom and tightened like crazy!:blackeye:

Hope it helps, let me know if you have any questions.
