Table of Various Shock and Strut Options

[Uber02]

Thought I would post this up here in case it helps anyone out in the future. I tried to compile as much info as I could get on some of the various strut and shock options discussed here and elsewhere. The info is not complete but it is at least a start.

I wanted to add some of the findings I was able to get from Koni. This might help anyone who is doing their own swap with fitting some of the different struts or comparing damping numbers for the ones I listed. These are all for the front.
