205 Rear shock advice please
 

Ok after 15 years hard labour the rear shocks on my 205 are bleeding badly and ready for replacing.

The current set up is Adjustable coil overs (Koni) on the front and rear adjustable Konis.

As most of you know the car is almost totally a track car, living at the 'ring' a bumpy circuit. It currently runs with poly bushes, uprated anti roll bar bushes, and the afore mentioned Koni suspension. The handling characterists are very much understeer rather than oversteer. Infact its almost impossible to make the car LOOS. I like it that way as I tend to drive too aggresively and know where I am with understeer rather than scarey oversteer.

The question is which shocks to buy for the back?

The easy answer would be another set of Koni's which I can get tomorrow for £60 each. I have also been offered AVO's for the same price. Both are adjustable off the car. KW only want to sell me a full kit for £500 and they use Koni inners anyway. I havent got a quote on Billys, still waiting on that one.

Anyone run anything similar and have any advice on what to buy?

Cheers

Just get Koni rears.

They really are good bits of kit.

AVOs are crap. They are cheap for a reason.

This should see you making even more of a name for yourself up the ring Gary :thumb:

Have you no useful input to make you cheeky sausage muncher?

Get back in the hutch and stop following me around :D

*wanders back to the empty hutch* :mad:

What shocks you got on the 944? You have the same style arrangement on the back of your car I believe....

Gary

Got KW's on mine, the rear shocks are Koni. They're fine. Should think any half decent shock would do on cars like ours.

Splitting hairs.

Koni, Billys - same **** different sticker.

Konis ordered ....... be here tomorrow

They'll be sealed Boge or Sachs units at a guess.

Too late I guess, but I was going to say PM Miles off the 205 forum, he's doing some Billies setup shortly.

Needed to have it sorted and and quick...... Car is off on its holidays shortly.

Good job i'm not doing it for you then ;)

(My new beam is going on tomorrow, std suspension for now)
