there is LOTS of talk about this in the competition forum. err the road racing/autox forum. search feature here sucks *** though. i believe the koni rep said 400lb but there are people running 500 without probs.

Re: Koni Yellows and Spring Rates (illusion)

I finally got the answer back from Koni....

I asked him about running in 500LBS springs in the rear, He said the Konis should be able to dampen just fine, but it WILL reduce the life of the shock.

He recommended me to have thme revalved when i get a chance, then I could run an even higher spring rate.

I guessing im going to have them re-build and revalved when as soon as i blow them.

By the way, the peeps at Koni seem really coo and really knowledgeble
