Koni Sport's and Stock Springs 850 1997

posted by  someone claiming to be Billy Dee on  Fri Mar 22 05:54 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Matt- since your car is a basic stocker(suspension wise: soft shocks & springs), you may need to upgrade the springs too. In my case I have the "R" suspension on my 854T5, so I just changed out the struts/shocks and kept the springs, which are pretty stiff. Maybe you can check a slavage yard(or online) and get the springs from an R model, which will be "softer" than IPD, which is stiff and lowered. BTW, (since you're a student and all) I don't think the adjusting on the KONIs is worth the extra $$$! It's a pain to adjust every time and you don't really notice the difference. I think aft u adjust, it takes X miles to change over(by that time u may be ready to switch back for street use.) So, if $$ is a concern, I would go with the Bils, and it should be good for your monthly autocross. Or do like I did and just put the Konis in front & Bils in the back.
Holla, B!
