So here’s the deal…..this rear coil over setup came with an abandoned 914 race car project. I have never seen this koni combination before seeing that it is inverted. I was told they have seen track time and worked well with 300lbs springs.Are there any racers that have and could give me there good…..or bad …. experiences with these? I did reach out to Koni and the rep I spoke too didn’t know what a 914 was…..go figure.

No experience with this exact set up but, at the very least, inverting will reduce unsprung weight.

Maybe i should start another thread about the physics of running progressive springs upside-down? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/whip[1].gif) PS: Back in my dirt-bike racing days, running the mono shocks (with progressive springs) upside-down was a common upgrade. |
