Default Up on a lift w/leaking Koni...time for upgrades!

Hello.
My '89 has the MO30 w/Koni's and the right front is leaking fluid by the top adjuster.
What is the current thinking on rebuilding this and/or doing an upgrade?
I thought I saw a double adjustable is now available, but is this based on these or something else?
Also, thinking this might be a good time to do the backs, as well.
Seen lots of information about this lately...
All the recent posts have me confused about what is proven and what everyone is doing
This car isn't run on the street, but used for autocross and maybe in the future TT's or something.
About stock weight still.
Really would like to keep the adjustability.
I guess now is the time for adding camber plates, as well and like the Kokein units that add shock travel, but they call for 2.25 vs. 2.5 diameter springs.
Anyway, the car is on a lift, at the shop and the stuff is out and I just really need help & advise what to do.
Thank you.

You can have your struts rebuilt to double adjustable - Paragon sent mine to Koni, there are probably others. The Konis are supposedly good to 400lb springs up front and 30mm bars in the rear. After that the sky is the limit - search this and the racing forums for lots of info.

You can have them rebuilt to OEM standard or double adjustable. If you do the rebuild kit offered by Paragon where the strut is cut, beware that they can never be made into double adjustables after cutting them. Koni has a very long lead time. http://truechoicekoniracingservices.com is factory rep certified and is faster and equally as good. No differerence between them and Koni. Highly recommended.
