So I run coil overs front/rear
Currently I have Bilsteins up front. …some archaic markings that I cannot discern (518 AK57352 1610 1600 is stamped) Konis are on the rear. Both have been on for quite some time. I’ve had car since 2016, word is car sat for 8 years before I purchased it but who knows. Anyway, as part of a mild refresh, I think it’s time to replace. This is only a race car. Any thoughts on best option money not a huge object or best value for the money? Replace what was there? Von Shocks from elephant? MCS? …Ohlins? Thanks JAY |

Following this with interest too.
My car hasn't been raced since 2016 too. Not sure what it's wearing at the moment. Rears have some sort of dampener adjustment which I haven't fooled with (yet). Will snap some pics. I'm curious as to their maker(s) too. -C |

If you decide to rebuild Bilsteins, for valving recommendations you could work with Elephant or a shop knowledgeable about car setup.
