Not your fault at all. I wanted to try them. Only one way to find out.

Maybe I should talk to Strano, but I have a feeling I know what he'll say. I'd like to control the body roll more (which the Koni's did fabulously) but while keeping high-speed compression within reason for small bump compliance. Stiffer springs would just make things less complaint, so I should just stick with what I know.... I'm guessing.

I was considering SA's vs DA's (DA rebuild costs a little more than new SA's) but the Koni rebuild guy claimed that the compression rates on the SA's are somewhere in the middle of the range of a DA compression adjustments (!?) and the DA has better overall valving. So I might as well stick with DAs.

Regarding the bumper and seat... sounds great, except I'm having trouble finding anything reasonably priced. No heated, sport seats have come up on ebay. And no bumper covers < ~$600. I'll keep looking.

Worst case I guess I could buy the M-Tech 2 bumper, and get just a new seat cover and the heater internals.
