Reply to "Shocks/coilovers"

Konis' ain't Angels from Heaven. Probably irrelevant to this discussion but I put a set on my Datsun 200sx when it was new in '82. Gas struts. If they were working as designed THEN I vote them as garbage. Expensive garbage. The car constantly bottomed out with them no mater what setting they were on.

The other set is on my 68 GT350. S1MS Ford part numbers and all. Fronts are on soft and work fine there. The rears needed to be replaced with Cure-rides. The rear axle was not controllable with the Konis. Rode like it had concrete tires and jounced around constantly. With the Cure-rides in the rear and Konis in the front weight transfer is just right the rear acts like it is has a vacuum device holding it to the pavement AND is very quiet and comfortable.

My Pantera still has it's original shocks and springs in the car. Only has 30,000 on the odometer. Logically it would seem that I should consider changing them sometime soon? I would say at this point, I am not an advocate or fan for Koni. In regards to a customers car I spoke to them about rebuilding a set. They were pretty nasty on the phone and hung up on me after issuing a take it or leave it edict. I'd prefer avoiding or having the possibility of having to deal with them ever again

I like the idea of the adjustable ride height system.

I'm following Rockies post on this as long as I can hear it without the freakin' cowbell? Big Grin
