Default Coilovers with similar performance as mine

I'm looking to purchase a set if coilovers since i cannot find any tc cline koni 8242 shocks out there. What would be a similar setup to run? I have 750 springs up fron with 600 in the rear. The eibach r2 looks promising and found a used set with 5k miles in 2 years track only. Would that be a good set to go with or what would my options be. I like the 2 way adjustables and want to maintain the performance i got from the 8242 on autocross. I daily drive but do not care for a smooth ride. If i wanted that i would but a lexus. Thanks for your help.

Can't you get your existing konis rebuilt?

They told me they are not rebuildable since the shock body is bent.. which they don't appear to be bent to me.

Would those be anything like the TC Kline shocks I have? I am awaiting for his reply.

I have a set of koni's with kg/mm race springs that I have laying around that I would let go of pretty cheap to help a member out. I just upgraded to Ohlins so no need for them now. You can probably get them all rebuilt to your spec. They have over 30k miles on them now. Just another option

i have koni yellows laying aside right now. I just want doublr adjustability and something with stiffer spring rates. The 8242 konis were a longer shock body. So i cant unfortanetly throw the hyperco springs on them. Atleast thats what i have been told.

Gosh I would think it's a short list of quality double adjustable reliable shocks that are monotube.

Probably the closest budget ones would be the eibach r2 after that it's probably the 8300 Penske

It's a shame the bilstein motorsports or club sports aren't available.
