linear motor (crazy fast) and hydralic and numatic...............
Most shock I seen where done on a $100,000 mts dyno
Also the ak1111-a and ak1110-a is a 380/150 valving...
while the ak1121 and the ak1120 is a 600/180 valving...
thats right out of my bilstien catalog.......

You got it Larry. You can get them from www.alleuro.com and a number of other places.

eshocks.com is a good place......thats where im getting the parts for my inverted bilstein setup for my rally car........... I was there last week and he had some porsche stuff on the shelves... Not sure if it was the 380/150 or
600/180 stuff..............
If its your street car I would run the 380's You really need to run high spring rate to run the 600/180's like 500+lbs and those kla are not for that!!
good luck!!

Larry - does the catalog show if the AK37354 comes with a spring? I am going to run 500+ on the front with the AK110/111 (not the new threaded body but the older design), then run the rear with like a 300 or so (that may be to heavy though).

non of the p-car setups come wih springs.......
I ran 400 up front and 300 helpers in the rear with my tbars
and i loved it...... The car "pointed" awsome........
Then again I like tail happy cars.....
The stiffer bilstein stuff wont match the kla's im sure......
Eshocks.com sells hypercoils for 55.00 each

Thanks, that was my thought. I want a little heavier front spring to keep the tail in line.

I'm running 250lbs welts up front and 8inch 200lbs KLA's on the rear. I think 9inch rear springs is the way to go for lowered cars, it will put the adjusters right in the middle with a one inch lowered car.
The ride is greart, I have them set at 6, but am thinking of going to 7 and see how that goes. With the 100lbs it had a lot of smooth bounce over rolling roads, sport touring feel.
