Tim:

Koni will rebuild same as Bilstein, Boge, Sachs, FK, T.C. Klein, JRZ, etc... As Charlie mentioned, finding the contact is the problem / challenge. Work with a tuner shop and doors will "magically" open.

On the other hand, my experience with Bilsteins versus Konis is that the Bilsteins need to be rebuilt before the Konis do. I have Koni Adjustables on two cars and had Bilsteins on a third before switching back to Boge / Sachs the OEM supplier. (one of the Bilsteins blew out and Bilstein didn't offer a shorter piston shock in HD or Sport for my vehicle which was lowered = not enough travel).

Ran Bilstein custom valved in RSR struts on one car before converting to JRZ (holland). Even these triple adjustable remotes (JRZ) need to get revalved for track purposes to accomodate spring rate, corner weight, driver preference, etc... Still sorting out after 7 months (should say experimenting)

Look for an article in either Excellence or Grassroots Motorsports in the past few months with the ERP guys developing a fully adjutable shock in the $750 per corner range. (Pretty sure they were using Fox shocks: who make one hell of a competitive shock for the motorcycle racing community). The article describes either an SC or Carerra running 3 or 4 setups at Willow Springs track and one of the drivers being a professional (Johannes VanOverbeek I think).

Good luck,

Jason
