One year old, used for 6 - 7 track events and about 1,500 street miles in 2003 my 1998 ITR:
4 Koni Yellows (adjustable)
Ground Control alum threaded sleeves & perches
Eibach springs (2) 400lb, (2) 500 lb
Ground Control alum front upper strut mounts
Lowers car from 0" - 3"
This is an excellent street/track set up. (I'm moving up to a full race set up)
Costs about $1,000 new. Selling for $700 shipped anywhere in lower 48. I'm in central NC. Send IM.

IM'd you.

 

run the EXACT same setup on my car (with a bunch of other tweaks)

good price

 

Yup, it is absolutely a great serious street set up and good for a street/track combination. I'd highly recommend it even if I wasn't the guy tryin' to sell it

 

Somebody help me out here! The full race set up is callin' me!

 

The koni's, are they revalved? Shortened?

Off the shelf, original length and valving....and Sold! 4-19-04

 

whats going to be your full track suspension set up?

 

I could tell ya, but then I' have to kill ya

Tein N1s, 750/1050, poly bushings everywhere except rear trailing arm pivots.
It better haul a$$, this hurt! $$

 

Damn. High roller!

(I want a ride )

 

Tax return! Thank you George W.

 

would your recommend the teins over konis yellows?

 

I like the koni yellow GC set up. I had 400/500 springs on mine and thought it was the PERFECT set up for street/track compromise. Price is reasonable at about $1,000. The only draw back is that you'll need custom valving if you exceed 550 lb springs. I'm taking my car off the street, so I want a hard core competitive set up and Tein N1s were highly recommended. Tein also makes nice street stuff, there's a write up in Grassroots Motorsports this month about Teins on an ITR.

 

When you get the Tein units, send them to me and I'll dyno them for free so you can have some real data about what they can do. I'll bet you will be surprised.

Every book I've read has said Koni Yellows are the best OTS shocks one can buy

 

Tein &gt; Koni

Probably true. If a Dutchman even said the word "bling", it would still sound gutteral like a cat coughing up a hairball. Koni's emphasis has always been on what is on the inside and paying limited attention to how pretty it is on the outside. On the otherhand, a damper does absolutley nothing when it is sitting still and you are looking at it. Only when the car is in motion does the function show. Konis on a show car are a waste.

 

Dampers are a pretty poor choice for 'bling' factor. You can't see them unless the car is upside down
