I don't know the model number on my shocks and the car is in the shop. To
my knowledge, when the koni adjustables came out they had multiple grooves
for the perch ring. I can't physically verify this because I have never
seen them, but I hear peolple refer to them. They later changed it to two
grooves, like mine, which I purchased from imparts for $91 ea. I've had
them on the car for a little over a year and they work great. I leave them
soft all the time. When I autoX I fully stiffen the rear (no LSD) and bring
the front to about a 1/3 stiff. The car feels like a go cart when it's set
up like this and the shocks are the only mod. I mentioned earlier that NOPI
was selling tokico illuminas (adjustables) for less than the koni's (~80
ea.) They're also excellent and cheaper.
