Just got back from Sebring and the Koni+H Tech combo is perfect for what I was looking for. It behaves pretty much like stock (yet sharper), without the rebound of the stock setup. Also, no more tail-happiness. It turns in and tracks out, points and goes wherever I wish it to whithout fuss. Tiny bit of body roll still present (on stock sway bars), but not enough to disrupt composure in any way.
3+ hour drive back home very comfortable. This is a great daily driver/track car compromise setup.

Glad you like the setup! My car is on Tokico D-specs with H-techs along with Whiteline bars, and I share your sentiments. We were up at MAM last Friday south of Omaha, and going catless and on R-comps I was giving an Improved Touring 944 turbo a pretty good chase. Enough to get the exhaust warm anyway ....

Wow, terrific pic!

I love the adjustability of the Tokicos. Springs, bars and track tires are a "one of these days" set of mods (after I get employed again, sniff).

I just wanted to pop in and say I bought the Koni shocks from DPE and am very satisfied. Great price and quick delivery. Thanks!

I haven't had a chance to try them out on the track yet but they are definitely more responsive and keep the car more settled on the street. It's a little more bumpy in town on rough roads but very smooth and comfortable on the highway.

I also noticed that my car is now lower than before. I previously had Espelir Springs on the car with stock shocks. After swapping to the Konis when we got it back on the ground the car is approximately an additional 1/2" to 1" lower than before. Looks good and handles very well.

Very happy customer!
