Do you have to remove the 30 series Konis from the car to adjust the comp?

Yup That's what I was looking for but after waiting a month and none showing up I ran up on some triple Adj JRZ's and jumped on them. Honestly I rather have motons because ever one has them, which would help with tuning. Although my JRZs new cost twice what motons cost. If I was to sell them it would be in the 5k range though. I love being able to change shock settings easily by just poping the hood/trunk.


Don't cheap out on shock. A guy drove my car a few weeks ago and said "I've spent on this time and money on trying to set-up my car and then I get in your car with high end shocks and they feel so much better"

I think buying any mono tube double Adj shock is a good idea. For the money Koni monos are good but not many people on here have them. AST is the next "cheapest" awesome shock on the market.

No, if you have the pillowball mounts. There's a way to do it, but it requires a few minutes and a certain combination of tools.

I would disagree pointing to Penske 8300s which are double adjustable with external canisters for about $3,200.

Jeff explained how to do it and it involved getting the car in the air with the suspension fully unloaded.

Where can I find the Penske 8300's at that pricing? I have been coming up nil via Google.

Not new 8300 for that price with the Penske canisters. New Penske with top mounts and canisters without springs are low 4000. I checked

Double adjustable konis should be $2000 including valving, but not including hardware. Figure another 500-800 for that stuff.

Made a decision....went with Ohlins DFV. I will be curious the feedback I will get. (I know they are not dual adjustable.) I will have them on, the car balanced and aligned in time for Sundays event in Knoxville. I will let everyone know the first impressions.
