PLYRS 3 - any reason you decided not to use the 1/2" lower perch? I'm curious if anyone has taken advantage of the lowering ability of these shocks.

USACE - when i had them installed, i was running an "over-sized" 265/35/18 (porsche spec) tire in the back and didn't want it to rub - so i went with the higher perch. i'm now running a "regular" 255/35/18, but havn't gotten around to lowering the perch yet.

MAYHEM - body roll is reduced to the point where it "seems" somewhat non-existent. but, i have other stuff on my car that may be contributing to this feeling.

I have Koni yellows with GC perches and Eibach springs. I only have them on the medium setting since the shocks are still being broken in. Definately a nice upgrade over the stock suspension. I didn't use the lower perch on the shock since I wanted full damper travel vs. being partially compressed at all times. The GC or Comptech adjustable perch is a step above a non-adjustable lowering spring IMO. Springs stiffer than stock will also decrease the amount of body roll.

the shocks absorb all bumps/dips immediately - there is no "pogo" effect.
Are they more comfortable than the OEM?

Thanks for the input guys. Would you all agree that the koni yellow is a better quality shock than oem?
