Default wtb: full coilover track suspension

My car needs to move into the 600# spring range and delete the tbars. If anyone has a full set of coilovers with all the parts that they are looking to get rid of drop me a line. Well known brands only, no knock offs, thanks!

most koni sets that I have seen are limited to 400# springs. What series are you speaking of?

I have the koni coil over kit installed on the front with 250# springs already. Those and the matching t bars will be for sale when I find replacements. All parts have less then 1k miles on them. I'm not against koni's, but those just aren't capable of the rates that I want to run. I'm looking for Leda, AST, Motons, Escort series, etc.

I have looked at those, i'm really seeing if anyone has anything used that they are trying to sell. Maybe from an unused track car, or maybe they are upgrading to better items.

Oops, I didn't see that at the bottom of that post. Well that is unfortunate.

Just out of curiosity what do you consider a knock off brand?

FWIW I've recently switched from the "best" of 944 shocks, and I will never look back. The entry level stuff that they're pumping out isn't really all that ground breaking. There a variety of good shock companies out there making better alternatives for less money.

If your front struts are full original koni struts (8741s) and not converted bodies w/ inserts, you can send them into Koni or Truechoice and have them revalved for significantly higher spring rates, can also have them converted to double adjustable (8742s) . Then buy a pair of 3012s for the rear.
