| Authorized Vendor | This is the first place you'll hear this. And, yes, we've been busy... We've had numerous inquiries over the years as to whether we offer this. Now, I'm pleased to say, we do! This is a full coilover suspension based around the KONI 2817. This is a serious RACE ONLY suspension: autox, road racing, Time Attack. As you may or may not know, KONI is now the title sponsor of Grand Am Cup. As of 2009, all entrants will be required to run KONI shocks. The KONI 2817 will become the de facto strut used on all the KONI Challenge road race cars. Some background on the KONI 2817, from page 6 of the KONI Motorsports Catalog. "The 2817 are racing dampers designed for strut applications. The 2817 Series is a semifinished strut damper where only the mounting brackets need to be added. The 2817 Series uses an inverted "twin guide" installation. The primary guide is fitted to the top of the main cylinder. The secondary guide is fitted to the lowest point of the damper body itself and runs up and down inside the strut housing. Therefore as the strut is compressed, the distance between the two guides increases. This reduces friction and increases strength dramatically under load. Damping adjustments for rebound and compression are made at the bottom of the strut unit. The strut housing and spring seats (for 2.5" I.D. springs) for the 2817 are made of hardanodized aluminum. A removable steel sleeve is fitted to the bottom part of the main cylinder of the strut housing to allow for fabrication of bracket to fit each particular application." 1) This is a double adjustable high-pressure monotube shock. 2) This is an inverted strut design. 3) We deliver you a full bolt-on coilover suspension, based on the KONI 2817s, using our geometry and features. 4) This is built to order only, where we discuss your application, goals and specifics of your setup. Valving is specific to each customer. 5) These are single height or dual-height adjustable, depending on your needs. Enjoy! This ad is not endorsed by this member.
