I'm friggin' breaking my head over which shocks to use for my track car...
I want some kind of adjustable shock. I don't want (revalved) Bilsteins! First choice was yellow Koni's, but... after inquiry, I was told these shocks are only good up to double the original springrate Which is about 100# and means I could run springs up to about 200# max I've been browsing the Koni sites till my eyes bled www.truechoice.com www.koni.com www.koniracing.com I want to convert the fronts to coilovers and raising the spindles (use either Koni or Bilstein struts) And use spring rates somewhere between 300# and 450# (starting at 300# but keeping my options open to go higher) Is anyone here using the 8611 double adjustable dampers from Koni? And if so, what are you using in the rear... the www.koniracing.com site states that most Koni dampers can be changed to double adjustables and be custom valved Anyone have experience with this? Any other good options besides revalved Bilsteins or a mega-bucks-remote-canister-dampers (which I prolly won't be able to dail in anyway) cheers, Jeroen |
