Regarding Spax vs. Koni, I decided to go with Spax because you can adjust 
them on the car.  Konis have to be removed to be adjusted.  Or so I was 
told.  Can't comment on ride yet because I am doing to the same project 
you are (and then some!) and its not back on the road yet. 

Regarding rear tube shock conversion, I decided to stay with the lever 
shocks, but I purchased the uprated (Stiffer) lever shocks from Apple 
Hydraulics.  The reason I stayed with lever shocks is because several 
sources told me that I had a better chance of running wider tires without 
clearance problems if I stayed with levers.  Aparently, some of the tube 
shock conversions can create some clearance problems.  Your mileage may 
vary.  ;-)

...Also I'm trying to decide between the shocks Koni or Spax?  What's the
difference?...  And final question, I've read a lot about the rear shock 
conversion kits. Moss says the tire width
should be limited to 190/60 or something. do all of the kits have the same
restrictions. are some better than others. is this a wise decision?...

Thanks everyone!
