Simmsled are the Koni coilovers using the same koni yellow shocks?
Would you suggest instead to get the koni yellows with the ground control coilover sleeves?

They were not part of the bad batch. The kit is not designed to be used at anything higher than 2 inches below stock height. Front spring failure seems to be why. If you look at the geometry of the front springs, it will make more sense.

Yet Koni's website states a min 1.3" drop is acceptable...

I think I'll be getting my warranty replacements and selling them if that's the case... Will be going back to springs and stock struts or a cup kit.

Hrmm... good question.

If you are more track/street-performance oriented, yes I would go Koni Sport (yellow) dampers and use the Ground Control coilover sleeves.

If you are more street/low oriented (spirited driving) then the Koni Coilover is a better choice.
