    Hey everyone haven't updated here in a while. Car is running pretty strong, Only engine maintenance it has needed in 2018 is oil change, along with topping off the oil once in a while, idk if you guys remember about the whistling I was talking about and couldn't figure it out for the life of me but eventually I got a check engine light and checked it out with my scanner and was basically saying an air leak so I checked the levels as I spray certain parts of the engine with brake spray hopping it wasn't my cat sensors. Apparently it was the lower intake boot which I thought I looked at it before and replaced it but man that thing was torn pretty good underneath, no more high pitch whistle after that lol.

    I do have a couple questions for you all.

    My front and rear shocks are toast was thinking about getting the koni yellow with H/R sport/race springs, anyone got this set up and like it? or should I just go with the koni yellow by itself?

    Im also looking to get a nice net for my trunk to make sure stuff doesn't move around, holding stuff like a backpack and duffel bag ,got any suggestions?

    I also am in the market for some struts and maybe springs and while the Koni Yellows are highly recommended here, my indy and several people I've actually spoken to in person all recommended Bilstein instead. I'm still trying to see which I will go with as well but just throwing that out there.

    Koni >>> Bilstein for a daily driver. Bilsteins ride like shit on the street compared to Koni yellows or FSD's.

    I liked my H&R setup. I also loved myRace Springs, but my car was VERY low on those.

    I'm also running Koni yellows with H&R sport springs... very happy with this setup. When I had the Bilstiens with the H&R sport springs, every bump was cringe worthy.

    Yeah - this is the suspension combo my car had when I bought it, and is the very reason I used to dodge every single pothole and bump I possibly could. Going over them was almost spine shattering.

    I'm in absolutely love with my Bilstein PSS10 coilovers I have currently.

    It's not the car you drive, it's how you drive it.

    If you put the Bilstien sports next to Koni yellows, you'll see why: the Bilsteins are a much shorter shock... bottoms out sooner with lowered springs

    Part of that reason is because of the huge internal bumpstop. You can open them and trim the bumpstop down to help this.

    I think I’m gonna stick with just the yellow koni and use my original springs, I don’t really want it any lower then what it is
