I have Konis on the rear. I want to add the adjustable threaded collar kits. I have to buy smaller diameter springs? What is the diameter of the spring that goes with the kit? If so, I have #160's and #180's for sale.

Milt,
What you have right now will be fine for the time being. Get some seat time before worrying about more upgrades. You will also need to upgrade the front if you stiffen the rear any more. I just installed 2 1/2" id, #250, 12" springs with adjustable perches on my Bilsteins. They are a little too long, should have gone with the 10" length. The clips on the Bilsteins are at the bottom and the adjustment collars are also at the bottom. The ride height is almost 1/2" higher than with the #180 stock type springs due to the fact that I had to use a modified stock top perch to fit with my spherical bearing top mount installation, and the fact that the higher rate springs don't compress as far. I guess I could remove the adjustable collars to get the ride height down, and use washers to get the heights equal again. I bought Eibach springs from Truechoice, which was also a big mistake. It took Eibach 3 months to supply Truechoice for my order. I drove at Summit Point yesterday and the handling was prety good, after tightening the front bar just a little.
