Koni + Whiteline review
I just picked up the car from the shop after having my Whiteline bushings and Koni shocks installed. After an alignment and wheel balance I feel that I can now give a review.
1. Koni Adjustable Stuts - I am very impressed with these struts, they make a big, big difference from the stock OEM struts. I set the dampening one full turn from full soft which seems to be the sweet spot. These seem to do a great job with my Cobb Springs, they seem to absorb bumps well without the loud crashing I was getting with the OEM Struts. At highway speeds the car is rock solid and feels like its on rails. My vibration is completely gone and the car tracks down the road extremely well and smooth.
2. Whiteline bushings - Much better steering response and the front end of the car feels solid. I also noticed a reduction in body sway which is always a plus. I did see a slight increase in noise from the engine and exhaust but I wouldn't say that as a bad thing.
Overall I am super impressed and pleased with how the car handles now. The best way to describe the difference is before my struts and bushings I could tell that the car and tires seemed to reach their limits at the same time. Now the tires are reaching their limits well before the car does.
