I recently installed Koni Yellow shocks with OEM CR springs on a MY05. After the install, I noticed that the front end sits just slightly higher than the rear.

I will upload some pics later today of the height difference. Would pre-loading the bushings incorrectly cause this? Though, I am sure that I pre-loaded them right.

Any ideas?

did you put the fronts on a different perch and than the rears?

I set all four to the second lowest perch on the Konis.

Mine is the same, my front sits higher on my koni yellows with swift springs.

Hmm...very strange indeed.

Could be because the spring rate is stiffer in the front that the rear..

Have you realized that our rear wheel arches sit lower than the front? An even drop will always have the rear sitting lower than the front.

Also those who have switched to CR springs and shocks report that nose sits visually higher afterwards.

So not surprising to see same result with CR springs on some other shock.

Throw 00 ap1 rear springs in the rear, stiffer spring rate and should give it a slight rake

I actually didn't know that. Thanks for clarifying.

Well, isn't that interesting!

I can live with the slightly elevated front end if that's how they were designed.

Thanks for the tip.
