All Konis are at least single-adjustable for rebound. Availability: Sports only for the early cars, with reds and yellows (sports) available for the later cars.
Good Luck!

Thanks Skip,
I am going to be ordering from paragon and P/N
8040-1035s only shows G,S ( gas and sport). I assume that with the information from above that these must be internally adjustable then?

Yup, the rears are adjustable, but you have to remove them from the car, remove the bump rubber, then hand press and carefully twist to change the setting. Complete adjusting procedures are included with the shocks, and are available at Tech-Session:

thanks lemon, that helps a lot, thats the thing i hate about my set up right now, the roll. Its like a friggin kia SUV. Just so that i'm not too worried there IS a lot less roll than my 16 year old shocks right?
hey skip how much are the shocks(rears) from paragon?i know the struts are 150 each, but usually the rears are cheaper, right?

Andre-
If it is the roll that is bothering you, I'd suggest the money would be better spent on roll bars. The roll of my car always bugged me too, dive and squat are not nearly as disruptive as the roll during AX. I just installed a set of the 968 MO30 bars (30mm front and 19mm adj. rear) on my S2 this past weekend. While I haven't really gotten to put them to a serious test (a little wet oustide) the body roll is noticably reduced. Now Skip about those Racers Edge rear bushings......
Cheers

I like 'em! Looking at doing spherical drop links too... maybe.

Hey Skip, I'm pretty sure I can just bolt in the front 951S swaybar. What about the rear? Will I need bushings/brackets etc? If so, do you guys @ Paragon have anything that will get me thinking?? Thanks

Oh yeah Andre, I noticed much less (albeit more than I like) roll with the new setup. I'm pretty sure 951S swaybars will cure this (for a street application).

If you have a bar now, then all you need is the proper diameter center bushings. The drop links are the same. You'll also need a bushing set for the front bar, but nothing else.
