Koni Sport coilover kit with threaded perches, now installed. Need Mt. View alignment shop info Options

[Michael N]

I am getting ready to install Koni sports with a Rebel Racing 2.25" ID spring coilover kit. I have Eibach 8" 200lbs springs to go with the set up. Using the search function I see that most coilover kits with the threaded perches are using 10" springs. Will the 8" springs I have still give me the same results by adjusting the collar?

Received the 2" trumpet nuts from Koni this week and finished the install today. I had to re-adjust the front and back multiple times to get the car to sit just right. I would jack the car up adjust, down on the ground quick drive around the block to let everything settle then re-adjust again. My neighbors must think I am absolutely nuts. The car now has Koni sports front and back. It is unbelievable that a half of a turn (180 degrees) can make a difference on the handling of the car. The car was running too light in the front I stopped and tightened the fronts by half a turn and it changed the entire feel of the car. I will have fun with these shocks. I should have done this long ago but I am a CSOB.

The 8" long springs are just fine. I thought I would have to run the spring perch up too high but it sits at about the middle of the threaded collars.

Final height ended up at 22.625 in the front and 21.25 in the rear running on 205/60/14.

The alignment is slightly off and I need to get that fixed. I have heard that there is a great alignment only shop in Mt. View. Anybody have any idea what the name of the shop is or know what I am talking about?
