I have bought a set of KONI COILOVERS for my NA6 for cheap.
Will i have to drill my shock mounts from 10mm to 12mm?
I assume this includes the BUMP STOPS too??
Just wanted to find out any tricks before i start the install..
Has anyone on here done this?
very hard to find serious information about the fitment.
I have done a search but couldn't find any info on the KONI's..
ANY HELP MUCH APPRECIATED...

Yes. Get a good sharp drill bit and plety of lubricant.

No, it only includes what's in the picture. You'll need to shorten your bumpstops or buy some aftermarket ones.

Installed these on a friend's car a few years ago. Unless they changed the specs (which I think they did at some point) the springs are very soft - barely harder than standard. They don't tolerate lowering much as a result, or you slam the bumpstops.
No special tricks to the install, the springs are designed to match the OEM upper perches.

Hopefully still much better than the 20 year old pieces on there now..

Yes, there's a metal plate at the top of the bumpstop that needs drilling. It will be obvious when it's apart.
