Levinracer is right, if they are the model im thinking of they (the 'double adjustables') are definately worth the money.
They are not just a sporty shock, they are a koni damper for motorsport use.

i'll get back to you on diameter and stroke length,they are externally adjustable,valving;not sure on specifics but when i got them re-valved i said i want half again please.....but i have run them with 300lb and 350lb springs,but i am assured they will suit softer spring rates.
the shocks length fit straight into a sprinter strut and the diameter is a snug fit,so i guess i dont need to get back to you on diameter just stroke length.they wouldnt be 12 months old and are in as new condition.

just trying to figure out if they are going to be suitable for my application.
why did you reduce the valve size by half and how did it affect the balance

i went half harder in the valving,they are the koni motorsport shocks,externally adjustable,rebound on top of shaft,bump is on the bottom of the shock(a half inch hole needs to be drilled in the bottom of the strut tube to allow for adjustment).

brad, I'm interested and have cash. what is the length of the stut shaft that sticks out above the seal on the cartridge. Alternatively, what is the Koni number off the shock and I'll look in my book. would you happen to have a gearbox left over from your racer??. i need a nother close ratio box for a race car project. thanks, terry
