Well its time to upgrade the shocks on my car. It is primarily used for AX with a trackday thrown in. Currently the car has T struts, 21mm torsion bars, 19mm sway bar, and monoball strut mounts and 180 pound springs in the back. All the bushings have been replaced with delrin. I would like to lower the car a little bit more but am limited with the current T struts. I was intending to go with Koni or Bilstein inserts and shocks with a coil over kit on the rear but then I happened across these which are still in the budget but barely.

I do have a set of calipers that I should be able to use since mine currently have the 3" spacing. Will the T hubs work on the RSR spindles? Any thoughts on this? Should I just keep it simple and go with the Konis?
