Use the bumper supplied by eibach, not your stock ones. Which koni's are u getting? I didn't know they had any apart from the inserts?

We just did this install. (KONI INSERTS)Make sure you use the supplied inserts with the front strut tops during reassembly. Also make sure you drill out the rear shock top mounts as the Koni threaded shaft is larger than stock.

Replacing the struts shouldn't take more than 2 hours to complete all 4 corners...but be prepared to pay 6-8 hours worth of labor that was done in 2.

Anything under 6 hours labor would be considered a "deal", which is why people often try to do this job themselves.

Thanks for the info. If anyone in the New England/Tri-state area is willing to help me with the install, I'd really appreciate it!
