just alittle infor for everyone
Sunday, September 24, 2006 4:23 PM
well i have had my car back for a couple weeks now with my new Koni Sport Kit. It comes with the Koni springs and struts, and i just have to say WOW!!!! at first it was rough riding during the break in period, but now i have about 1000 miles on them and with every mile to this point they just keep getting better and better. the ride is awsome! it is smooth and comfy, and them firm it up alittle and body roll is no more. this has to be one of the best investments i have made for my car. the drop isnt drastic but clean, even and just beautiful. just for a comparsion i have an 06 eclipise too and the ride is just as good if not better in my opinion, i will drive my cav before i hop in the eclipise. So to make a long story short, I HIGHLY recommend these to anyone looking for a good suspension kit. A++++++++++

here are a couple pics to show the drop, not the best pic but ill take better ones soon.

I hate how the rear looks like it has less gap than the front! Probably just the pics though! Definately a nice kit man! Good to hear you like the ride!

Yeah I am hoping that is the pics... The Koni sport kit is a 1.2"/F 1.6"/R... I have a 1.4"/F and 1.75"/R and I don't have my rear tucked so I'm thinking it is just the way the car is sitting...

did you have to gut the stock front strut to install these or is it a truly bolt on Koni setup?

well the struts that come with the kit are the koni yellows, so yes u have to do the install the same way as all koni and gut the old front struts the same as usual. i got lucky and my father did it for me when i was in iraq, but he said it wanst hard and just followed the instrustions i sent him from this fourm.

and as far as the look of the front sitting higher then the rear, is the pics. it is actually just the angle i took the pic at, from where on cavaliers the rear wheels sit inside the wheel well farther and the front tires push out further. i will get a better pic from the side to show u the drop dead on. but thankyou for the positive comments.

Except when it rains.

With the 03-04 cavaliers, there actually IS a smaller fender gap in the rear compared to the front. But there isnt much ya can do about it unless you like rolling the sheet metal up a little.
