Are you asking about a 44 or GT3? Many racers run remote reservoir on 44. A lot of them have LEDA from Racer's Edge to take advantage of their experience with 44. I have custom valved Bilstein. I do not plan to change until I only need a 0.1 to get up front or find some dirt cheap.

I'm running Moton Club Sports. I think you'll find most club racers are using remote reserviors or upgraded Bilsteins.

Any particular questions?

People speak well of KW 's on here wich as you may know are high end koni's
I would like to see some higher spec biltsiens on some cars ..
you can possibly get golf mark 2 PSS9's that will go in the front .

Moton's, JRZ's, and Pesnke remote reservoirs are the shock of choice for front runners. Leda's have a pretty mixed reputation. There are guys who love them and a a lot who feel they are jumnk and need to rebuilt. Bilsteins are amongst the more popular non-remote reservoir. The guy who one 944 Cup in our region ran Koni double adjustable (/M030 fronts converted to double adjustable and 3012 rear coilovers).

My vote would be Moton's for best bank for the buck and Penske for the cost no object.

Koni "yellow" double adjustables along with the 3012s (Skip mentioned above) are pretty common, and the 28 series konis are also a higher end option.
