Hmm...I always wonder about going to sleep after "pulling a stunt" that my wife wouldn't approve of - a steight out beating would be better, but she just smiles and says "you'll get yours"...

So, RPR, E-AT_me and I make three pairs of rears...who else? (I better not tell either...)

huh.gif Lemme get this straight.

You're saying they will make the rears double adjustable, and will work with the spring rates I've been running (you know what they are and I'm softening the rear rate). On top of that they're going to be based on a 3012 shock?

With the threaded body?

For $375 each?

This is driving me nuts.

If you love the Elise, drive a Se7en - Caterham or whatever...
It has even less content than the Elise, is less graceful looking
...and changes direction like a ping pong ball whacked by Thor.

SNAP! I didn't even notice that you said 3012 series. I assume they would be the B23 valving? (250-1500lbinch) If so, I am even MORE in than I was before...

yeah, I should probably suck it up and not eat for a few more months so I can buy rears too.... who needs Atkins when you've got a minimal race budget...

ok, help me here metric boys...

the 3012's look like they take a 2.25 inch spring, yes? bummer I've got all those 2.5's if I was to bite the bullet and get rears sad.gif ....

Kirk, what lengths or length (looks like Koni uses a min/max scale) would be available in the rears?

Ok, I just emailed Kirk. I think I'm going to get some of these rears also. Since my rears are only rebound adjustable and stock length.

Let me reiterate:

mad.gif DAMNIT MAN wink.gif

Looks like I'll be putting my rears up for sale at some point in the future. (Which were JUST rebuilt and revalved in August dry.gif )

AFTER, I get the new ones of course!
