Default best coilover within my specs

hey guys i am looking to get some coilover for my TT s2000, i am looking for a double adjustable (compression and rebound ) coilover that DOES NOT have any external or piggyback reservoir they also need to be able to get the damping set to the spring rate that i will be running any options???

oh the shaft diameter can not be bigger than 40mm either

Do you mean the body diameter can't exceed 40 mm? A 40 mm shock shaft would be pretty impressive...

Budget would be good to know....

Penske or Koni... that's all I recommend if you can't have external reservoirs. Even revalved yellows would probably be fine and they're about the best performance for dollar shock.

Just get what ever you buy dynoed so you know what you're dealing with and so that you can get all the shocks set the same with their external adjusters if they are not all the same at the same settings.

To not get them dynoed would be a mistake.

He must be running NASA if he is concerned about the 40mm shaft limitation; not an issue when shopping for S2000 shocks.

I was in a similar situation (shopping for a 3pt shock for NASA TT) and I ended up going with a single adjustable shock from AST. AST will build the shock to your specs and your desired rates. If you have your heart set on a double adjustable without an external reservoir, I think Penske or Koni are your best bet.

Bilstein PSS. Great performer for $1.4k.
