so now are you going to get them turned into coil-overs with adjustable spring settings? In fact, not being ridiculous actually, you might think about that. Adjusting only one 'side' of the spring/shock equation is imbalanced as I am sure you know.
Eventually, yes. Though up until this moment that thought was mostly driven by the necessity to modify the lower spring pearch for clearance with certain wheel/tire width combinations. Not a problem with those skinny little 215's currently, but perhaps some day...
You are prob on the best side of the initial imbalance - if I can call it that - with having stiff shocks before having stiff springs. Stiff springs withOUT strong shock (rebound control) would be a bad setup. As in older cars with worn out, leaked-dry shock absorbers. You know, the old sea-going yachts that bounce up and down the country roads.
Drove my old shove-it about ten blocks once with
no rear shocks. As a kid, I never had a pogo stick. After that short little journey, any child-like urge to try a pogo stick had strangely vapourized.
Got any pix of the new parts?
...but of course. They're at home, somewhere, and I'm not. I'll try to remember to update this soonish.
BTW the strust aren't new. I've had them in for a little over a year now. I just wanted to have "first review" bragging rights in the Suspension section.
Where is the adjustment
On top of the strut shaft, where it protrudes through the upper mounting plate. The struts may be adjusted in- or out-of-vehicle, loaded or unloaded.
In lieu of a "real life" photo, may I present an unabashed image link direct to Koni's web site:
what colour are they
Red. Goes nicely with those red poly bushings.
