Adjustable struts?

[TT/Ameasap]

Anyone using adj. struts? I am looking at the Koni adj's and was wondering if there is a cheap place to buy them?

I really just want to go all out drag, but I dont want to wreck!


Thanks
Bo

I have the KYB AGX shocks but have not run them yet. However, I know Rich "big dog" got a set almost immediately. His comment was to the effect that in discussion with Steve Kelly, they are the kind of shock that would have been preferred for the TTA and would have been have used had they been available or if cost parameters enabled it.

Others have commented that they are the best shock they ever had on their car.

FWIW....

I say buy 'em!

Julio...Nothing wrong with the stock struts. I just want some adjustability. Drag 90/10-70/30 for those hard launches would be nice......Oh, I get it now... You want me to contend your 100% stock suspension record. I need to barrow a 51-62 turbo first

Koni's look good, but where can I get a bargain on them?

Thanks for the replys

My TTA psychic advised me of this upcoming future event while looking into her Pontiac 9bolt crystal ball.

I told her I didnt believe.. I'll see who's rite

BTW.. Bo when your gonna race that car... geessh.. If you have no time, let me go and get kicked out in it

Ya, I was going to BMP tomorrow, but I have to work again Im going to quit my job and start racing full time

Cool weather is here man. I am ready to go. Same combo as last time , but no dutt neck. See if that sucker made a difference. I got rid of the 15 row...WAY TOO BIG!!! I couldnt make it out the driveway! Relocating tranny lines and all that BS just isnt what I want right now. I will prolly go out next weekend if the weather is at least down to the 60's and see what it will do on a bonzai pass.

oh, only thing left to do is mess around with the turn on point and add more alky for high boost.

TTYL

Hi ,
Konis are a great strut, if you can afford them. Jobbers(if you have a buddy in the repair business) are your best source. Probably, you're looking at $200 per side. Just guessing.
