I figured the race crowd would be the best place to seek some info. I have the Koni Yellows in this (poor) photo (with blue tape attached). Since this is a V8 car, I want to be able to swap springs and set hide heights easily when dialing in the handling. I'll be doing some track day testing to get things working right. What adjustable perches will fit these shocks? Will they interfere with the keeper that's welded to the shock body (I think the springs will be shorter than that)? How about springs (diameter, length, source)? I don't intend to lower the car any more than keeping the trailing arms parallel to the ground. This is not going to be a track car; mostly street driven.
Thanks, Andys Attached thumbnail(s) |
