Well pretty soon i will be looking to upgrade the suspention on my daytona (currently stock springs with monroe sensatracks, all around) I have read good things about the Koni adjustable struts + shocks, though have not been able to find what exactly is adjustable on them? I am assuming it is the damper force though (like 40-60, 20-80, etc).

Pretty much i am looking for some of the best suspention i can get for the car, i had plans for the Eibach springs, and Konis, though if there is a better system i would like to hear about it.

Also were can i find some of these Konis?

Koni's are discontinued for all of the K based cars, excluding L body's and caravans, so pray that you can find some used

Eibach 2804-140 - Eibach Pro-Kit Lowering Spring Sets - summitracing.com

KYB Gas-Adjust rear shocks compare to the Koni's, but nothing compares for the fronts

Go with KYB or Bilstein, the Monore's will need spacers with the Eibachs. I had the Monroes and was lucky to get Koni's in 2003, they work much better.

Sensa-sh!ts are just that. Get any other shock/strut besides them. They are position based dampening not speed based like every other shock.
