[Shotimes] Konis

[Ron Porter]

Others can probably chime in on the SFCs, as I've only put about 3
test-drive miles on the car with the SFCs.

Well, I've no doubt you sacrifice some ride quality on the FIRM setting;
what happens on a lower ie med. or soft setting?  I suspect the Konis will
last longer than the Tokicos particularly if not set on firm all the time.
I'm getting ready to install some GenIII SFBs, the motor mounts are still
fine (original).  How do you rate the SFCs on a bang for buck mod?  This car
(95 ATX showroom cond.) is my highway cruiser and I don't want a rough
rider.  It has SLO springs, but I will replace the fronts with a set of GenI
springs when I change the struts.

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.
