I don't doubt that these guys know shock valving for their application. I doubt they know it for our application, that's all. It's just my opinion. I went to Koni direct for my rear shocks (3012s). I know they know valving for road racing since the dude I dealt with was working on his production Sprite. I think you could get them to work, but I wouldn't feel comfortable unless I did the homework on the valving, too.
Now for the front.... I haven't seen a strut version of the QA1/AFCO/Carreras, not saying it doesn't exist, just that I haven't seen it. Do not use a shock as a strut. Of course, you could always change your front suspension to a dual A-arm setup and then you can use a shock up front. |
