Thinking about putting Konis on the car.

That work thing is over rated. I'm just glad they haven't blocked S2Ki at my job.

If you want to chat about the revalved, autocross-specific Konis, let me know. My car was the beta test platform for them, and is still wearing that original set. And so far, it looks as though they'll still be a great shock even on cars built for STR (coilovers, lowered ride heights, etc).

I've tried looking into the different specs for Konis, and for different revalved dampers. For the cost and what the factory set up is, I think the regular Konis will be great on an AP2. From what I know, Konis are softer than AP1, about the same as AP2, with softer compression and firmer rebound.

If I go with Eibachs and regular Konis, I think I'll be perfectly happy.

Haven't had any time for pics, but its not that dramatic - it looks just like a normal S!
