Many thanks for your compliments. Believe it or not the Viggen beast is going to be getting rather better looking (in my estimation) given that the wheels are being refinished this week and the front bumper is getting repainted (minor scrapes under the spoiler).
I love the ride of the Koni shock/spring combo but, in truth, I still on occasion hear noise due to the fact that the front springs do not sit properly in the spring seat (recall that my issue is that the spring diameter exceeds that of the spring seat). Reconciling this will entail a custom spring seat which is really not a major issue but I have a number of suspension upgrades that I will be doing in the near future (i.e., front/rear brake kit if/when Nick T. or Jak S. finish developing one, stainless steel brakelines, and installation of Abbott Racing's track control arm bushings) and I'd just assume do everything en masse rather than piecemeal. Other than this issue I truly like the improved handling from the lower stance which honestly has not been problematic whatsoever with respect to scraping the spoiler (if it was I would not be having it painted) but your results may vary. As for the harshness it is, at the current setting, very similar to the stock ride but, as you know, I can readily dial in my shocks either way given the ease with which they may be adjusted.
