Default Knowledgeable source on custom shock valving for Auto X???

Looking to either have my Koni singles revalved and made into doubles or buying new shocks all together.

Someone with specific ITR experience in stock form would be ideal, but a general auto x shock guru would suffice.

Thanks

Shawn

I'd be happy to discuss it if you want to call me at KONI at 859-586-4100 ext 316 from 8-5 Eastern. If you get my voice mail, leave a message and I'll get back to you. I'm in this week but out of the office all of next week.

You've found your man. Trust me, CRX Lee knows his chit.

--Karl, happy KONI customer for both OTS shocks and revalving...

Yep, Lee is your guy for Konis.

Or, if you want to spend some major coin, I'd love to see a DS ITR driver try a set of double-adjustable Motons. Might be a bit much for stock class, but don't tell that to the guys running Penskes and JRZ's.

just outta curiousity, since the motons are a threaded body, how do you get the stock spring perch on there? do you have them custom build for the application?

Wish I went through Koni directly at this point...

Look out for an upcoming issue of Grassroots Motorsports where they do some autocross shock testing comparing OE, two versions of OTS Koni and some high dollar Motons. Note the overall performance, performance differences and the prices. Even though it is on a BMW, I am sure it will raise some eyebrows about the value of some of the super expensive shocks.

Your IM is disabled. If you want to discuss it, reactivate your IM and send me one or send me a normal email again. I don't have your email address still.

Lee,

Without going into sordid detail, it seems like the matter is going to be resolved... Jerry at Truechoice assured me he'd be handling the situation personally.

Thanks for the reply though.
