omg somewhere a website was selling the koni race shocks...for the front. for an unbelievable 105 bucks or something like that. maybe someone will know the place...that is for the strut "inserts", but they are adjustable (before installation, not like illuminas). i was getting serious about jumping on the deal, but have decided they are going to be too strong for the street, but for rally, they may be good???

Was it classicgarage.com?- http://www.classicgarage.com/rx72.html

they have them for the SA but i thought they were discontinued, so they may have been sitting on the shelf for a while.

I would post your thread inthe Race Tech section. Konis and Illuminas are great, but if you are really setting you car up for rally racing I would talk with the racers. Those suspension setups are very specific and you only have to buy the RIGHT parts once. If you buy the wrong parts...well, you still have to go and get the right ones.
