Does anyone know how easy or difficult it is to adjust either the Koni's or Tokico's once installed? It would be the rears I am especially concerned about. Thanks for the help.

Searching is easy and you'll find things like this:

FWIW you can purchase an adjuster with dspecs that you can install in your trunk but about 90% of the people who purchase dspecs find the hardest setting plenty comfortable for daily driving so they never use the adjuster. Most people only get the adjustment extender thingy for the rears but you can get it for the fronts as well. I have just the rear.

just got some s-techs today...after seeing the later before and after pics i think i made a good decision.

I've had mine installed for about a month now and absolutely love the stance.

So I've had S-Techs installed for 4 years and roughly 65,000 miles with the stock struts. Am I on borrowed time? What exactly are the signs of worn struts? It still rides nice and tight, no major changes. Prolly time for some Koni's.

Hmmm...interesting. I was wondering how long my stock struts would last with the S. Techs installed.

i've had mine mounted to the stock struts for over a year now and they are still fine. i've even made 2 trips to the dragon and they were great.

i'm only thinking of switching to a coilover for the ride height.

I know when I get the cash up I will be getting some coilovers. The look is simply perfect with them. Quick question for ya....are the stock struts on our 8's Tokico's??

Yeah, because I noticed when painting my calipers that mine said Tokico.
