    Koni Question, IE3/TCKline

    OK, I'm going to be running IE3 springs, and am looking to order Konis soon.

    Question, are the standard Koni Sport shocks short enough to run IE3 springs? Or will they bottom out?

    Also, I seem to remember reading somewhere that TCKline sold the only externally adjustable rear shocks for the E30 chassis. Does anybody have experience with these?

    Thanks in advance,

    TCK is not the only source. The rear Mustang after the fox body uses the same length and is DA.

      I'm not looking for DA, just SA, but that Mustang info is good to have.
      I'm assuming it's basically bolt-in?

      Just one last question then, with IE3 springs, do I have to worry about bottoming out Koni's or are they short enough that they won't hit?

        TCK and IE package the Koni's with the Springs so I assume that they should be good to go.

          you'll be fine. the only time you'll run into that issue is you're using a coilover spring.

              You'll be fine with the KONI's on those springs.

                Are your rear Koni's externally adjustable?
