just wondering, if i was to put some koni adj shocks just in the rear, will that lower the rear more uppose to using my stock shocks in the rear? also will the stock sport shocks for the RWD fit the AWD? Also does anyone have snapshots of the front shocks? koni might be able to make me a set for the front, i just need pictures of the front setup.

-Using a different shock will not lower your vehicle.
-Yes, the rear stock sport shocks for the RWD will fit the AWD.
-I do not have pics but keep me updated!!!

well koni finally got back to me. they told me its not impossible. when i get home i'll post what he wrote in the email. the diff is something with the bottom clip to wich he gonna need a set of stock shocks to use parts from. so he said it would be pricey cause i would need to buy a set of stock shocks. hes suppose to get back to me with a price. if the price is right then i'm all in. then hopefully they will manufacture them for the rest of you guys.

ok, this is what he wrote me back with:
Antonio,
The biggest problem that I can see is that the lower mount is completely different with the AWD version versus the standard 2wd version. The standard shock uses a lower clevis that is attached to the shock while the AWD version slides into a lower bracket to clear the driveshaft. Also, one of the brake line brackets looks different as well though not as big of an issue.
While still not impossible, the cost to do a set of new fronts will be expensive because of this and will also likely require a set of factory front shocks (working or not) as a donor for the bottom mount. If you want, I can still check into pricing. Thanks.
