My part selection is not like some of the other locals but, there is stuff still kicking around I wont use

Ohh and if you were looking for N/A sway bars also I have the set but they would have to be a "swap" No spares of them.
That seems to be a real nice offer and I am sure we can agree on a price here. Konis and a NA springs may be just the ticket. Thanks.

Also, what does it take to adjust from hardest position to softest?
Is permanent acccess required to the top of the shock tower at all four corners.... ie do you need to cut an opening into your rear trim panels?
The shocks just bolt on. For adjustment bluecoupe has cut outs in the rear I believe, if memory serves.

The springs are trickier and have to be compressed. Koni prices I have seen are $310 a pair.

Dave, Beaner has the proper spring compressor needed for R&R.

180, I would just go with a stock set of shocks and Beaner's springs.... You stated you weren't interested in the hard handling type set up so, no real reason to go to adjustables. Save your $$$, and go with a stock set like you had before. You will just have a little more accelleration than the old car, but ride the same.

I think you maybe on the right track there Doc, the NA springs are about 30% less in the spring rate.

Front SRT/NA is 451/303 lb/in, rear 480/337 lb/in. That's from the information I have gathered from the SRT and NA spec sheets anyway.

I've hit a few bone jarring road heaves this spring. I should order a set and pick them up at Woodward but then it would kill me not to get them on for the trip.

That sale has been going on for at least 2 months already... I know because I've been checking back hoping the CAI would go on sale instead!
