Larry,

No it's an EC5A body !!!

Paul

 

So you would actually recomend these units for use on a gravel rally car?

I've been using a set of inverted 30mm Bilstiens, but I bent one, and then damaged it again at the weekend. so it looks like it is time for an upgrade.

As these are a lot cheaper than DMS or 50mm Bilstiens I have to look seriously at them.

Thanks for the good infomation.

DMS are junk.... They are tough enough to hold up but are almost non adjustable......
They are just not worth the 4k they cost now..... Yes the VR4/talon setup is suitable for gravel use.....

Larry, can you list some prices on these? Be sure to qualify that the Konis that people are talking about are street and not race parts. Bilstein and Koni also make racing suspension. This is some serious info. thanks for posting it!

Thanks,
