Ok, so this is a pre-emptive for-sale thread. After sunday, i will have a full set of Koni Yellow adjustable shocks and struts and a full set of H&R lowering springs for the MS3 for sale.

Both have about 5000 miles on them, and zero issues.

$600 for all of it.

How do these ride? Were they on when I saw you last?

I'm almost sure they were on when you came down.

They ride really well, and the yellows are adjustable dampening so you can stiffen or soften the ride. I have them set to the middle all the way around, and it rides tighter than stock, but not even remotely harsh.

I may be interested. I won't be home until almost Jan though, so if they are still available I might swoop them up. What's the drop on the springs? 1.5?

website says 1.5 to 1.8 drop with the springs

I rode in this car with this setup. It's a very compliant DD suspension, in that the shocks damp impacts very well. You will not get that jarring bite you would normally get with lesser shocks/spring combos when going over road imperfections. At the same time, it seemed to handle turns nicely. Also when Mort dropped the hammer, and then slowed down from the wicked acceleration his car enduces, the squat and dive was very minimal and the car was able to recover its balance quickly.

I would say it's a best-of-both-worlds setup.

You thought wrong Sir. Mortose has a newfound crack problem and needs this stuff, gone...gone...gone!

I have a guy interested, but he hasn't responded in over a week, and lives in WY.

tut, you should really buy it.

Tut, you will have more overhead room in the garage if you drop the car. The konis ride nice. I know nothing about the springs though. Considering they are already put together, you just need to bolt them in.

Mortose, did you run a camber solution with these or is the ms3 already equipped with one?

no, no camber solution. but durring the time i had them, i didn't notice any exsessive wear on the tires stemming from camber issues.

So, the guy that was going to buy them hit me up again, and tentatively going to meet me on friday to make the transaction, so we will see.

I hadn't considered that Sire. This changes things completely! Too bad these things are so damned expensive. I mean, they're just a piece of steel- how much could those really cost!??

(inside joke mr. mort, hehe)

Sounds like a CL ad, be careful! If at all possible, bring a friend and let your parents know where you're meeting, and what time to expect you home.
