    Koni yellow installation

    I'm considering getting some koni yellows to replace my busted illuminas, but some of the general information I've seen indicates there's drilling and cutting of the strut assembly to install them. Is this really the case or is it a standard install with the supplied gland nut?

    They come with a new gland nut, no cutting required, just drilling out the nail in the bottom before you slip it in

    It's a straight forward procedure that is illustrated in the instructions. Nothing difficult.

    Mine just seemed to be more interesting because I didn't get the supplied gland nuts - just had to crank down the stock ones and retighten them once the car was on the ground.

    You're perverted if you think there's something wrong with slipping a big yellow thing into a hollow black thing

    isnt it usually slipping a big black thing into a little yellow thing?
