Hey guys. Just finished installing my rear struts and springs couple minutes ago. I was curious to how you guys adjust the rear? Its kinda hard to get the knob into the hole. Is there something im missing?

Sorry, I couldn't help myself... Are you making sure it lines up properly? You didn't mangle anything in the install, did you? Maybe new it's a little snug, but I've never seen one that was tough to get in. Take a good look at the interface and carefully line it up.

Im about to do my Konis as well. From what I have searched, you have to grind down the knob for the rears so it will actually fit, just the area you grab, not the actual adjuster.

That's a common fix, but I found I didn't have to do that. I peeled back the carpet in that little corner, and removed any white foam sticky-tape/padding from around the hole, and I had just enough clearance.

I just installed mine last weekend. I had to cut the knob to fit the rear.
I don't know if you've road tested yet....but the Koni's kick serious ass. I have this long winding curve that I drive every night on my way home. With the stock suspension my car would start to get uncomfortable around 100mph....with the Koni's I get up to 120mph and still feel comfortable. I have the Koni Sport Kit, and it provides the perfect ride height and wheel clearence for my 18's.
I'm gonna post some pics of my car tonight when I get home.
