Default Double adjustable shocks

Are the Koni double adjustable shocks exclusively available from Devek? Is there anywhere I can purchase just the shocks? Are there any other double adjustable shocks on the market without adapting a set to the 928? I've read someone of using Penske shocks, but I forgot who.

Konis from Koni themselves have only rebound adjustment, either internal or external. It's possible to have these modifiend in a way that they turn into both ways adjustable. Devek have theirs probably done by some specialty shop.

On internally adjustable Leda's down and rebound adjustment is done by single external ****. Ratio between directions is 1:3 or 3:1 debending on which way it's looked. AFAIK only way to get independent down and rebound adjustment is to use external remote canisters.

No, our Double adj Koni shocks are by KONI, not by a rebuilder. They are custom valved to our specifications and are used by folks like Mark Kibort for very high perfromance.

We also did the development work for koni and penske race shocks and sell them.

we sell our Konis as a coilover with rebound and bump adjustment. It is a complete bolt on system...ready to run! Mark K and others use this system as it is ideal for both hard street driving and track use.

Marc, thanks for correction. If one goes to store in here or anytown US and asks Koni xyz-ab one gets same two way adjustable shocks you are selling? Probably not.

is it possible to dial the double adj konis enough to make them acceptable for daily-driving?

No, you cannot go buy them in a store and they are made on a custom order basis only, yes, they are soft enough for steet driving!
