Koni Shock Part# for C3 Motorsport COilovers

[mazur]

Hey guys, I have been out of the game a while, but I got my car running again after some time and realized one of my front shocks is not providing much dampening anymore. Unfortunately, it seems that C3M is no longer a business and I could not find what shocks he used.

I know I could probably have them rebuilt, but I have a feeling that it may be just as economic to buy new and not have as much down time with the car. Though I cannot remember if these may have been valved a specific way to match my spring rates....

Going by memory here, I believe they are Corrado (short body) front's and the rears are top adjustable but don't remember which car they came from...perhaps Camaro? C3's kit appears to be modeled after GC's.

I don't know anything about the C3 kit, but all the short body konis are basically some version (revalved or not) of the following:

G60 Corrado Koni SA - ~4" shorter than stock but I think it needs a spacer on top of the strut and something to take up slack on the sides.
MR2 Shock - 2" shorter, spacer underneath unless you section the full 2"
No idea how the damping of either of these compares to the below.

325iX Koni SA - ~3" shorter, spacer under, good for ~450lb/in up front based on Roysneon 's 24v touring

Koni 8610-1437-RACE SA - ~3" shorter, spacer under, good for something north of 450lb/in. I'm running these in my 24V turbo car with 450lb/in hyperco springs from the GE group buy coilover conversion. Biggest downside is no warranty and the extra cost of these over the 325ix Konis.
