What brand of street shocks do you have?

The AE92 koni shocks that are often used for short stroke conversion are top adjustable, the AE86 koni shocks that fit directly into the stock strut housing are compress and turn adjustment just like the rears. So getting those means taking the front struts apart to adjust. Don't mix them up. Most of us euro guys run KONI yellows as its the easiest shock to get here.

Other then that, have to agree, set them on soft, and they are ideal for street cars, turn them up and they stand their ground on the track. And they are excellent quality, they last and last.

That sucks, I did quite a bit of research with one of the guys @ koni on what to run for short stroke application on our cars. Here's what he recommended for spring rates ranging from 6-10k front and 4-8k rear:

Recommended by KONI (for front):
8610 1437RACE Works better with higher spring rates than MR-2 piece/better valved for ae86 weight

Recommended by KONI (for rear):

95+ Mustang (rear)
Koni 8041-1186S -sport Externally adjustable, and valved as an ae86 would need to be.

OR (even better dual adjustment!)

93+ Camaro (rear)
Koni 8242-1006SP1 dual adjustment (compression & rebound)

Unfortunately I dont know if the mustang/camaro rears are readily available on the other side of the atlantic.

Hope this helps,
Andrew
