Saki, The koni's on the higher perch lower the car another 1/2 an inch(used to have the eibach/koni combo myself.

Here's a pic of my car with the eibachs:

No pics of my car with eibach/koni combo because I had the the koni's on for about 2 weeks until I decided to get coilovers and sold the koni's to a friend with espiril springs.

Updated pic with Coilovers(Picture whore time)...

Rubn1, do you have spacers on your wheels, the car looks great, i just had my wheels painted STI gold, and the car is berlina, installing skunk2 springs, hope it looks anything close to yours, great looking car man

Hey guys, I'm going to buy a set of Espilars and the Koni Yellows and I'm confused about Rubn1out4GudLuk statement. The higher koni perch actually lowers the S2K an additional .5 inch? Just want to confirm this is correct before I install. I was thinking the lower perch will lower the car an additional .5 inches. Sorry for the noob question. Thanks.

The lower perch will lower your car another inch on top of what the espirils lower it already(You will be tucking on this setup).

OP, it still looks too high.
I had eibach on my ap2 on stock shocks, and it was definitely lower than that.
Sorry, I don't have a pic for this, but mine looked more like Saki_Gt's on eibach+koni combo.

Thanks Rubn1. I think i'll stick with the higher perch then!

:tipwink: No problem...I know two peeps with the same spring and shock combo. One is dumped with the setup on the lower perch. The other one was on the lower perch but we put it up on the higher perch this last sunday and added the ground control sleeves and turned them into coilovers(highly recommend it).
