SE Rear Suspension Mustang Konis

So anybody out there run these KONI 1026SPT mustang rear shocks??:

I'm planning on using these in the upcoming rear rebuild to compliment the MR2 Koni fronts. Looking for pros and cons..

Spring rate front is 300#. Rear will be 150# stock 5" spring locations w/adjustable perches.

Those are pretty common on the FB race cars in KC. They are a bolt on and work well. I have a pair of them on the back of my race car. I have also used Tokico Illuminas and PRO Racing shocks with good success. The trick is you need a shock that allows you to control rebound.

Another option, especially for a street car, would be KYB AGX shocks. I have a set of the KYB AGX shocks on the back of my FOX Mustang and they work really well for the money.

Cool thanks guys..

Hammer I'll check out those KYBs you suggest. I was hoping to save some coin on single adjust but if the rebound is where it's at I suppose I'll have to consider saving up a bit more to make it worth while.
