I had thought this had been done, but someone else asked for it, so here are my impressions of the Konis after having them on the track and using them at an autocross course on one of the eval cars.
Pros
They work excellently. The adjustments have good range, and the dampening and rebound compliments the H-Sport springs and the H&R springs.
Cons
The adjustment for the rears requires the rear shock to be removed to access it (it is on the top of the shock, which is inaccessible once the unit is installed).
The washer and top spring hat have to be drilled to fit the larger diameter strut tube in the rear.
Bottom Line
Do I think the pros outweigh the cons - absolutely. This is a great set up to take the car one step beyond just the springs and rear swaybar as well as offer some tunabilty. The ride is definitely firmer, but not overly firm as long as the units are adjusted properly. Speaking of properly adjusting - we have worked out the exact set ups required for different situations to avoid having to do much rear shock tweaking - contact me for details.
These units are now available from Randy Webb Motorsport (RWM) for $600 for the set. They are special order and take 3-4 days for shipping.
Let me know if anyone has any other questions about the units.
Very interested. The price saving (with some H-Sports) over some coilovers (lower price range) then is about 400 or so dollars: $829 vs $1200 or so. Decsions, decisions...
Guilty.
