[Shotimes] Konis

[Ron Porter]

The rear Konis are frozen on FIRM (these were bought used), and I just leave
the fronts on full FIRM, turned all the way. Much of the harshness seemed to
come with the AL SFBs, but these were in before I did the Koni/Eibachs, so
the car has always felt firm since then.

Yep, the blue car is in the garage! I will not insure/plate it until I sell
the green car, or a week before the Convention, whichever comes first!!

Anybody wanna buy a green '95 MTX, 93K miles, with about everything replaced
that there is to replace??

Hahaha

Gee, if we didn't know who bought Randy's car, we do now. :)

I was gonna ask privately but I guess the cat is out of the bag now.

If you play around with the koni's, you can adjust them to be softer
than the tokicos as well. I set mine to medium, but I am thinking of
going to full firm again. Are you running the adjustment knob all the
way to the stop or just one full turn from soft?

Rebound only on the SHO inserts. Other Koni inserts for other cars can
control both.

If you have smooth roads and are willing to sacrifice some ride quality,
go with the Konis.

FWIW, I have Koni/Eibachs (set to FIRM) with AL SFBs on the green '95.
The blue '94 has Tokico/Eibachs with stock SFBs and long SFCs welded in.
The blue car feels as soft as a limo compared to the green car. Swapping
the AL SFBs to the blue car will harshen it up some, but the Konis make
most of the difference, IMHO.

I am debating Konis or Tokicos; the adjustability of the Konis is a
definite plus, IF: the adjustability is rebound only, not jounce.  Does
anyone know the real deal here?  I've heard the harder settings tighten
up the jounce, which is backwards to me, and unlike the Konis of old.
