Mike,
I agree with Brad, stick with the singles for your application. To use the Koni 8611s (I have them on my fronts) you have to figure out a way to adjust the bump setting, which is on the bottom of the strut. So you either have to make a slot in the bottom of the strut housing or come through the ball joint to get at the adjuster... or remove the strut cartridge to adjust bump. I have a different setup, so I can get to my bump adjustment, but I still have to remove the wheel to do it. |

yea...I know, Brad is normally correct (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) ... it's tough knowing that there are other options available and for some odd reason I love the idea of being able to fine tune/tweak the suspension (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smash.gif) |

Adjusting rebound, alignment, spring rates and tire pressures give you plenty of knobs to tweak.
