well i just picked up the car from having the Koni FSD'S fitted with the existing Eibach springs. all i can say is WINNER! Absolutely Brillant. changed the car completely. could tell the difference as soon as i drove out of the workshop. my suspension guy said the best commodore combo he has ever driven for a street car. i would do it again in a heartbeat. much more planted,tighter but no harshness at all.
cheers

How did your suspension guy counter the extra lowering in the rear from using Koni shocks?

yeah we talked about that, and we measured the old and new shocks and the difference was only barely 1 mm,so i decided i could live with that. seems fine and basicly the same height as before. heights are 350mm rear and 370mm front.
cheers

They must have changed the design. The difference was around 20mm. Would be interesting to see some pictures of your rear shocks.
