I have a pair of 72-73 911 "Koni only" struts with 3.5" SC calipers. The only Koni inserts I can find for them are sefl-leveling "reds". I am thinking of installing these on my track car that will be used for DE events for the foreseeable future. What is this "self-leveling" system these shocks use? I take it they are not adjustable shocks.
Will these shocks give me acceptable performance when pushed hard on my 1970 teener with 2.2 six semi-race engine? Koni "reds" will also be in the rear. Thanks. |

If they're new, they all come with the top knob adjustment now. It's possible the vintage ones may not.
Richard is correct, you can get them revalved. You can even get a new center rod installed with the knob adjustment. Jason know his Konis' Sounds like you're on your way. |
