Hi Jeff, I would be interested in info to adapt Koni's for adjustable springs! Also snap a shot of the new prop rod details, thanks

I have the adjustable Aldans on mine and like them very much. Actually one of the things that gets complimented on mine the most by the oldschoolers who know what it is supposed to look like is the way it sits....they all say it is the only one they have seen around here that looks like it has the right stance.

Art, Google "Koni coilover sleeves", everything is in there. Complete kit is about $64 per shock from Summit.

This may be to simple but have you considered just removing one third to one half of one coil? This should lower your ride height while changing your spring rate very little and can be done with an abrasive wheel or the venerable “flame wrench.” Just in case you're wondering; it will raise the rate slightly but you shouldn't have the rubbing issues associated with the lower rate springs. As far as what it will do to your handling; well, with the lowered ride height and minutely raised rate I doubt there will be much of a change at all. If anything it will probably more favor over-steer but I'd give that a shot first before buying new springs. JMHO
