Koni yellows and GC coilovers.....

but i got one question on the konis. they say lifetime warranty. so what happens when you blow one? how do you get a new one? ill get pictures up shortly.

Hmmm...thats a good question. Im sure it says what they do on the warranty card.
Ive never known/read/seen anyone blow one so its a mystery to me. I would assume it'd be easier for them to just replace it though. Quicker and cheaper for everyone (rather than rebuild I mean) What spring rates did you get on the gc's? Custom? |

well here is my thory: if it ain't scraping why bother lowering it ?
i had about 3" of ground clearance between the road and the undercarriage and i was fine, except i would scrape only on speed bumps and my driveway which is as steep and tall as a curb
