>I have a similar shock conversion bracket that is shown on the below

and run 205/70/15 tires and have not had any problem with the tires rubbing
against the bracket. I have KYB shocks, the ride is stiff, I think the
Koni
adjustable shocks would have given me a better ride (a tad bit softer).
However, the difference in cost ($36 to about $95 for each) made chose me
the KYB. Also,the person (a gentlemen from the LA area) who manufactured
the brackets recommended the KYB shocks.

Que pasa, mi amigo!
When I ran 205/60/15's I had no trouble but I kept hitting low lying
objects in the road. That last inch of ground clearance makes a big
difference. So I changed to 205/70/15's and that's when the trouble began
so I figured the car isn't worth going to a frame rack to straghten out the
last 1/4 inch so I installed HD levers and since I am deeply embroiled in a
TR8 restoration the TR6 will have to stay as is (which ain't all that bad).
Can't comment about the difference between KYB & Koni. Even at max soft
the koni's are pretty stiff.
