Time for swaybars... Opinions?



Interesting... I did blow a rear but that was after a lot (a whole lot) of 
miles... Great adjustable shock in my opinion, that's why I got another set 
:-)

Are the Koni's fully adjustable on the car? Do they adjust compression and 
rebound or are they still just compression?
