Unless you get a slamming deal on some good used sealed strut Koni's, it may be less money...and certainly less hassle to use the 1038 Sports.
I'll second that. Got the top-adjustables (1038 Sports) from Paragon and installation was fairly simple (other than getting the damn cap off the strut after 22 years of being sealed).

Plus, if i remember correctly the Koni adjustables for the early offset cars were cheaper than for the late offeset cars.

I like the late offset on my 944. It's easier to change the brakes, I think...

Jason,

I got a slamming deal on a complete set (front and rear) of brand new Koni yellows. I could not pass it up. These would go right on my S2 but I have brand new M030 Konis going in mine.

I also have a new set of Huntley Racing coilovers for the rear. I'll be calling you shortly to get some spacers so I can mount these puppies.

Not ebay.

Got a full '86 turbo suspension from a Rennlister a while ago.
