Where did you order from and how much were they... if you don't mind me asking
$154 ea.
I ordered it 1PM this afternoon, and got the shipping confirmation email around 3PM.
Super fast shipping.
Hope it arrives by Friday.

Ok, got them installed and I can tell that the front is defintely lowered. I took pictures of before and after and it looks like it is ~0.5 inch drop all around. The back doesn't look as low, but measurements don't lie. I haven't had a chance to drive it yet.
How do I post pictures? Do I need to be a member?
The one thing that disappointed me is that when you adjust the firmness, there are no "clicks" to show where you are at. Even my motorcycle stock suspension has clicks. So you're kinda guesstimating your settings. Expected more from koni though.

Whether or not the actual drop is .5" or .75" it shouldn't really matter to you since that's within your range. The .25" variance will probably be a moot point depending on if you have a passenger, a empty/full gas tank or other factors that affect weight (dynamat in my case).
good luck with it! it's been about 6 months and I still love the setup. I settled on 50% firm in the front and slightly more for the rear for daily driving. Track settings for me is 100% firm. I haven't felt the need to upgrade to coil overs like I thought I would - i'm just not that good of a driver yet.

I thought there was going to be some kinda "click" to it, too.
Mine's set about half firm, and I like it so far.
I was so excited about installing the shocks, I forgot to take the "before" picture
