Reply to "Advise on shocks and springs."

I'm still at work, so I don't have access to my car or my notes, but I believe the part numbers on my Koni shocks are 30-1301; something like that. They are the steel body versions, about $1000 less per set than the aluminum body versions.

Contact one of the vendors who sell Konis for pricing, its in the ball park with your QA1's. No external adjusters however.

My car is set as described in my last post, the rear lower control arms are level with the road, the fronts are adjusted so that the door sills are level too. If you put a contractors level on my door sills the bubble will be in the middle. My ground clearance is so low an aluminum "racer jack" just barely fits under the jacking points. My car will bottom on big bumps "at speed". I've contemplated installling a 1/8" sheet of aluminum beneath the car as a skid plate (must be the dirt biker in my blood).

When I jack the car up so the wheels are off the ground, the front springs are loose in the shocks, they rattle around, the rear springs are loose enough I can turn them by hand on the shock body, but they don't rattle.
