After nearly 10 years of faithful service, I wasted a bunch of money on an MCS setup so my trusty konis are for sale. The Koni shock inserts were new in 2016 (Koni 8611-1257 x4) and have probably 15 track days on them and maybe 2000 street miles since then. No leaks, bends, or frozen adjusters. These require z32 spindle in back.
The Koni setups have been well-documented on NissanRoadRacing.com and on here: https://zilvia.net/f/showthread.php?t=270829
The 8611-1257 is a double adjustable shock, meaning you can adjust rebound and compression separately.
I didn't clean them up for pictures, so they're dirty ( my garage is off a gravel alley so things get a bit dirtier than I want). I'll wipe them down before I ship, I just wanted it to be clear there were no leaks or anything.
The housing were made by Veilside180sx.
Camber plates and rear upper mounts are Tein -- the bearings don't feel brand new (ie they're not almost-frozen) but aren't flopping around and dead. No clunks or anything. I hogged out the inner part of the camber plate to eek out a bit more front camber at the plate.
The upper spring perches in front are the Vorshlag ones (that they won't sell separately any more..). That means there is a radial bearing in the top hat to allow rotation without trying to spin the bearing in the camber plate.
Front springs are 550# eibach, 6" long; rear springs are 400# eibach, 7" long. I was running stance helper springs with those but I pulled those and threw in the spare set of H&R helpers that I had on the shelf (50# rate, 2" long).
If I wasn't wasting money on MCS stuff this set would have been great for a few more years -- just bored and trying new things.
Looking for $2k.
I'll get some better pics but this is what I have right now.
