1. Are you going to make any front shocks? Hopefully already set up for 2.5" or 2.25" spring?

2. How soon for rear coilovers?

3. Who makes the internals for the rear shock? How easy are they to re-valve?

BTW, it is BEAUTIFUL, keep up the good work.

Hmm....i am very interested. A question though, say you buy them and adjust them pretty firm, does that effect the from at all? Would i need to change my front shocks or fix the alignment in any way?

Even @ $399 for 2 of them, that's quite a bit more than $116 (Paragons price for yellows). I'd save the money and pull out a wrench to adjust mine and take the extra money (nearly $200) and buy something else for my car.

Don't get me wrong, if money were no object here, yours would be the way to go.

Unfortunately I am not a millionaire!

2) Maybe next week. Just waiting on some parts to arrive.

3) Umm, my shock vendor. Actually, I have no idea on the revalve. I've seen an internal diagram but haven't actually taken one apart yet.

1) Adjusting can be done with the car on the ground. The adj. **** is on the bottom by the lower mount point so it's easy to reach.

2) These are designed as rebuildable.

Keep in mind that it's not as simple as "pulling out a wrench" to adj those koni's in the rear. You have to pull them off the car to adjust them.

Are you going to offer any for the earlier 944's? Also, is the price as already asked for both?

B/T/W, adjusting Koni Wellows only requires taking the bottom bolt out - you can then push up on the cylinder to engage the adjuster and turn it - still a pain though.
