Dragon : I haven't been able to drive it properly yet because of the bust Koni, but i'm getting the gas shocks back in today, then I'll be able to give it a good test. It seems reasonably smooth, so far i'm quite happy.
It actually looks noticeable and great on your car!
My sig is too big.

So the old gas shocks are back in and I can give the car a good driving.
Wow, I can't beleive how smooth the ride is. I was expecting a back breaking encounter with every uneven stone on the road. Maybe it's just the softer gas shocks, but it feels to me like the ride is smoother than with the oem springs. Cornering is also flat and hassle free.
Overall traction is down substantially, but i'm sure that's just the old shocks not controlling wheel bounce like the Koni's can.

Haven't had a chance to drive it yet, the front right Koni started leaking oil. Diagnosis on that currently underway.
Those Konis will leak for a little bit when they're new. If it persists after a month or so, call Koni North America. You can still drive them though.

They've been on the car about 6 months, only one is leaking, and i mean its forming puddles of oil on the road leaking, and there's absolutly no control on it.
As i said, IPD has graciously accepted that it's bust and is sending me a new one.
Kev, if i had bucks to fly there, i would have been in Cali, WITH my car!

The rear looks very high on that last pic. Was on a slope, and parked in gear/no hand brake. So the a$$ has risen. (down grant)
The front seems to be settling some more now too, so getting a little lower
