my $.02 while i'm on hold....
I had a set for the Porsche rebuilt by TrueChoice a few... well,
ahhh.maybe more than a few years ago. They did a good job,on time, as
promised. but - at least at that time - they didn't really get the
autocross concept. They called me because they had never gotten a letter
with the shocks requestinga specific change to the valveing. Of course, I
expect that has changed over the.. er... ah.. years.
I do believe that Rex is correct that the only other options are Koni
itself, and ProParts/TCKline/Tri-point. Unfortunatly, at the moment,
Proparts is REALLY backed-up and short on staff. Trust me. I'm dealing
with that right now.
And then there's Koni NA. At least in the near (pre-nats) term. Since you
say that it is leaking you may be able to get them to cross-ship you a
replacement....maybe. I have found Koni to be a different experience every
time.
BUT - and this is the big one - If you can hold out (or con Jim L. in to
it) Proparts is the best solution. They "get it". They are all
autocrossers(or road racers) and they understand what's going on and how to
make your car work. And besides they are us. Now, if they could do
something about their lead-time..
Enough from me.... Oh I'm finally off hold..hello?? hello?
