They look good! I love the paint. My Koni’s are orange. The yellows were just to expensive...
You should feel a pretty big difference in ride and handling like I did. I replaced both my blown front struts and shocks and I couldn’t believe the difference. Any plans to do the rear shocks eventually? That would make it even better.
I guess that's the upside of finding all of these issues, it's kind of cool to feel your car change with new and updated parts. Just getting an alignment, new tires and tie rods changed the entire feel of the car.

I’m more curious to see how long the paint lasts. It’s the highest rustoleum enamel I could find, I primerized it and did three coats for each color. Then I did 3-4 coats of clear coat enamel and am letting it dry over night. If paranoia gets to me, and it will, I’ll grab the acrylic clear coat that I’ve got left and do a couple more coats in the morning.
These aren’t even Koni’s to be honest, I’m not even sure what brand other than whatever was OEM. If anything, I reckon the driving characteristics should be much closer to stock than how I’ve been driving it as of late. The shop said the shocks were still pretty good, so I'm riding them out until I can afford new new struts and shocks all around to keep it even and tidy.
Should be a lot more comfortable as well. :p

I’m just really impressed by your paint job. Anything I would paint would look much worse! I hope it lasts.
The brand doesn’t really matter, being from Porsche I’m sure it’s a great strut.
When I got my shocks and struts in they were stiffer, more comfortable and handled better. It was incredible. The day after the install I went on an extraordinarily horrible highway and the car handled it so much better then every before. So I’m sure you’ll be very happy.
