So, it was time to put on the new Koni shocks (one lower ball joint had to be replaced as well). Had a friend who helped me out and it turned out real good, no thanks to us but to this forum and the Pantera Place. The whole spectacle was immortalised on camera and my buddy made this little cute video:

Thanks guys - boy do I love this car!

As far as the rotors go - from a sales ad that came with the car, it suggests I´ve got Corvette brakes. Maybe what Hall used to to sell as "Super Stoppers"? Perhaps someone can shed some light on that..?

On another note, the shocks were originally from Dennis Quella, I presume- I got them from a Norwegian Pantera fellow. The ride height turned out 1/2 an inch lower or so all around, and that was after actually adding some front height (the new front shocks were considerably shorter than the ones we removed). This is with 15 inch wheels and 225 50 15 tires up front. Spring rates are 550 front and 650 rear.

Anyway, tremendous difference in how the car feels on the road. Mind you, the old ones were leaky to the point where at least one had even stopped leaking Smiler
