It sounds like you have the money to buy the adjustable Koni's, so buy them. Just make sure somebody explains to you on how to optimally adjust them.

Bilstein shocks..

Heasman steering in Sydney sells them.

Non adjustable so nothing to stuff up.

I have used them and they work great on the track and give good ride quality on the road.

How much do a reasonable set of Konis go for? Rear and front. Anyone?

When i was in Peddars asking about suspenion probably 2 years ago, they quoted me $300 for one pair and $310 for the other pair of Koni Adjustables.

In the end i got them through a bloke from here who was working at Autobarn at the time for much cheaper than that ;)

I'm very happy with my Koni Adjustables, My car is a daily so it only sees the race track very occasionaly, but i love the very flat handling from the King Springs, Koni Adjustables (set about 50%) and Whiteline front sway bar :rockon:
