koni shocks

what would be a good adjustable coilover to use with konis, is anyone using these springs here and has autox'ed or road raced? also looking for street drivability without too harsh of a ride if possible

Kahren and Raven,

You will not get a definate answer on your question, because "it depends".

There is no one set of spring rates that is right on the mark for all uses.

Many variables come into play... driver preference to comfort and handling characteristics (oversteer understeer), shock dampening rates, tires sizes, and mostly road/track surfaces (bumpiness).

Speak to hundred people and get a hundred different answers.

I will be experimenting my Koni's with 600F & 400R. My initial fear is that the car will understeer too heavily given the stiff front rollbar I have and the 225/45/17 Ftire (255/40/17 Rtire). We'll see this spring.
