I'm thinking of getting some Koni yellows for my 1989 325i and I see there are multiple versions of the shocks available and I'm not sure which are best to run on my car. I'm running H&R Race springs and to be honest, they are a bit low for me so I might add 0.5" spring spaces or move to coil overs in the future (I would increase spring stiffness if I did)
From what I can see there are both long and short versions of the Konis available.
Short: 8641-1210Sport (f) // 80-2641Sport (r)
Long: 8641-1021Sport (f) // 80-2522Sport (r)
From what I can tell, neither of these rears are top adjustable and require you to compress the shock completely and then turn the body to adjust damping. I have seen mention of top-adjustable rears on various forums but no one ever lists a part number.
My general feeling is I should run the 1210Sport fronts and the top adjustable rears, whatever part number they are. To make matters worse, ECS sells a kit, but the part numbers in the kit don't appear to match the above sets even though they claim to fit my car.
Can anyone help me figure this out? Koni's website isn't much more help.
