M7 Springs, Koni struts suggestions/observations?

I'm about to install the following:

M7 Springs
Koni Struts/shocks
H-Sport Rear Sway
H-Sport Control Arms

I would like to know if anyone out there has a similar set-up and their thoughts on.....the general performance of the M7/Koni combo and suggested settings for both the Konis and the rear sway.

Thanks.

I had that exact setup and I hated it. Its was way to rough and harsh for me. I dont know if it was the springs/struts just not playing well together or what it was but to me it rode terible. I know alot of people with m7 springs and stock struts and they are very happy and I know alot of people with h-sports springs and stock struts and they are also happy. I have heard a couple with koni's and h-sport..happy as well.

I had a couple hundred miles at best and took them off, it was either swap them for something else or not drive the car. I opted for the pss9's and I am very happy with that decision. The beauty is you can quickly and easily adjust them for the street and and a compliant ride and then when you are at the track you can tighten them up just as easy. The koni's you have to putt the rears to adjust them. Also th ecoil overs allow you to set ride height where you want it and they allow you to have the car corner ballanced.

Yeah, I've got M7 springs and an H-Sport rear Comp. sway bar. I'm running stock shocks and everything seems to be fine. I've been really happy with the setup so far :D
