A six pack, butane torch and baseball bat is all you need.











I would recommend you use a proper fender roller tool and a heat gun. You will still need the six pack.












I have a nice heat gun you can borrow, someone around here has a roller.

I don't know... I was lowered on OEM shocks (and RSR Ti springs) for close to 30k miles. I just went to Konis (on high perch like you) and the car definitely dropped about 1/2" or so (and I never rubbed before). I was contemplating on going back to OEM shocks.

Sell the Konis, buy new OEM shocks.

Blasphemy!

PS. I'm already invested in two sets of Konis...so that I can always send one set off for re-build, but keep running on the other set
