while installing some axels and brake lines yesterday i noticed my ds rear KLA coilover has leaked most of the fluid out. Looks like the custom spacer that was made to flip the shock over has been dragging on the shock body and torn a piece off exposing the threads. ANyone rebuild these or do i need some new Konis?

QA1 makes them Dan, they can be purchased at Jeg's as well.

new coilovers or the same ones?

QA1 makes the KLA units. Jeg's carries the same QA1's.

which one do i need- NO PICTURES! I thought paragon used to carry koni rears for like 800 but now i dont see them anymore. The ones on jegs are much cheaper. Just not sure if thats what i need w/o seeing it first.

did you ever get this resolved? They are qa1 proma star 12 way adjustable. I can't remember, are you running them upside down with the adjuster **** at the top?

Your best bet is to get rid of those shocks (been there... done that...) and go with a shock that is purpose-built for your car. There are many available. If you're going coil over, then I'd go Bilstein unless you have a wad of cash burning through your pocket.

i actually found out that when i first installed the coilover i must have not gotten the cuztom spacer on straight and it rubbed once and then straightened out. It leaked alittle fluid out but not enough to effect it from working properly. I pulled it out, cleaned up the body and jbwelded the spot it messed up. Been driving it for a week or two since and works fine, no leaks. Yeah eventually i'll get konis or bilsteins for the rear. I bought a QA1 coilover from JEGS but it ended up being the non-adjustable one-thanks to their oh so descriptive cataloge. These will work until i save up for some good ones though.
