    NA Konis

    Quick question - I'm probably going to put Konis on my 91, however I've read that you need to drill out part of the mount. Does this make it so you can't use any other shock in the future? What issues does it create with the use of coilovers, should I decide to switch? (Or is it better to just go with Ground Controls on the Konis?)

    2015: Time for some "form" and vintage styling (while still racing NWOR, of course).

    Koni shaft diameter is 12mm vs the stock 10mm, so the center hole on the tophat needs to be drilled out.

    Ah, so if I decide to run something different its as simple as picking up a different tophat. Gotcha'. Thanks!
