"Dayle's suspension kit"
Has anyone out there installed Dayle's (Motorsports) Koni's AND drop springs on their car? If so, how do you like the ride?:
1) Would it be good for an old man like me who likes to drive a little frisky, but nothing radical (certainly not road racing)? 2) How do you modify the stock struts into a Koni unit? Please give DETAILS so I can evaluate whether I can do it myself or not. 3) If you like this combo or at least the drop springs, which drop springs do you recommend for me? [Don't say the old worn out stock springs just 'cause I'm old, either!] 4) Dayle said I should be able to use my old top mounts without replacing any of those parts. Sound OK? [Wondering, since everyone's acting like it's so great that Porter's kit has top mounts included?] 5) Please comment on either the Koni's or the Motorsports drop springs, even if you aren't using them together. THANKS for your input!
