    Yellow Koni's: OK to invert?

    Are the yellow Koni shocks (and/or the other FFR shock options) OK to install inverted (body up)?

    No, only the red Koni's are ok to invert.

    Thanks Hobby'. So much for the easy route...
    'looking at air-lift for the front. By the time I have made it to paint (~2,500 miles) the nose has been seriously abused by the world I drive in. I wouldn't dare mount the splitter sitting in the shed, and tearing up a fre$hened nose would suck, so time to fix that before the body goes back on.

    I just got this reply on the GTM page;

    >Yes. Tech support confirmed that the yellows can be used either way: piston side up or down.<
    Source >Mason O’Hara, Technical Sales Representative, KONI - an ITT company<
    Then a picture with them installed body-up on a GTM (FWIW).

    The air power are less than half the price of the hydraulic! $725 vs. $1,900. At $1,900, I abandoned the idea, but at $725, I'm listening. You gonna do it? Standing by for review.

    I'm still on the fence. During alignment I had to raise both ends, and so far that seems to be an improvement in street-ability. Not sure that will last if I install the splitter...
