Road Magnet/KONI
I just finished installing my CSK's and RM's and all I can say is WOW!!
It's so much better than my previous KYB GR-2 and Eibach Pro-kit setup. I have B15 yellow sports up front and B14 special in the rear with ME upper mounts. Finally I have full suspension travel with better dampening and high spring rates.
I have pictures of before and after I have yet to upload.
I also would like to thank all of those who took the time to answer my questions prior to the swap and to those who are the pioneers of CSK's. I will ride around for a couple hundred miles for the springs to settle before aligning the front end.

TBC.......

cool, you should've used the B15 Koni's in the rear.

I wish I'd gone Konis instead of AGXs with my road magnets. I wish I knew then what I know now. =(

I couldn't use yellows in the rear. The information I got from a KONI representative gave me the measurements from the bottom of the shock to the perch(s) and the yellows would have rasied the rear something like 37mm.....not if I'm trying already drop it an inch in the back. I still would have liked to been able to do B15's in the rear since they are externally adjustable which is alot easier than pulling the spring off every time I want to adust dampening.

Only thing I don't car for with the RM's is that the powder coating was really thin and liked to chip off. But screw it. Who's gonna come up to my car and immediately inspect for missing coating on my springs.

Awesome dude! Must feel amazing.

It is so great when you finally get one of the best suspension setups you can for our cars. Heavier spring rates feel smoother over bumps then lighter spring rates did with crappy shocks

Looking super clean too, love the fresh paint!

Have fun.

The drop has settled nicely. I'll be updating the after pic shortly to show how low it is.
