I am in the middle of installing my Koni yellows - fronts are done, but I have a major roadblock with the rears. I know that I have to enlarge the holes in the spring seat and the large washer to clear the larger spindle of the Koni - already done. But there is also a 3cm long metal sleeve that keeps one of the bushings from compressing. In reading other posts, it sounds like Koni provides the a replacement sleeve with the larger ID, but I got the Konis used and they didn't come with the larger sleeve. Do I have that correct? If so, then I guess I'll have to drill out the one I have or machine a new one.

 

No more roadblock - I managed to drill the sleeves out with a hand drill - the steel wasn't as hard as I feared it might be. The car is all back together now - Koni yellows, TSX springs, IE camber plates.

 

Are those IE fixed plates? How do you like the change? That's the set up I'm going for.

 

They're the adjustable plates. My original plan was to use the IE fixed plates, but Jeff at TSW offered me a deal on a set of used adjustable plates that I couldn't refuse!

 

You've got the same suspension set-up I've got...you're going to love it!
