I run Koni 8611 inserts...... 290 mm body length, with appropriately shortened strut housings.
You need a plan for dealing with the compression adjustment at the bottom and the fact that these have a 43.5 mm diameter. But, they are very reasonably priced. Info and pics in my Blog. |

The Koni inserts have a little extension rod on the bottom which nor,ally bottoms out in the strut body. It is about 5/8" diameter and 5/8" long. If you hacksaw off this extention, and shorten the strut tube body length (you do this while you are cutting/moving things aound while raising the spindles), you will gain this much stroke lenght of the shock when lowering the car. The idea being that after you lowered the car that the shock does not bottom out and destroy the foot valving.
