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)

I bought my adjustable collars from Rich Bontempi @ HPH. I think the same stuff is all available at Ground Control. My collars had a relief machined at one end but the ring on the Koni yellows was too big for it to slide over. I just turned it upside down and it's been working great. I was running 175# springs (10" length) with the adjuster all the way at the bottom. When I changed to 225# springs I went with the 8" long springs cause I knew the wouldn't compress as much and I wanted to go lower on the ride ht.
