I just saw this posting and wanted to share my experience. I have just
completed a conversion of the rear shocks to the KYB tube shocks (TRF kit),
installed new stock shocks on the front (they were the original shocks I
replaced after 26 years!), and added a set of Moss competition springs to
the rear, and what a difference! The ride height stayed the same, but the
typical "squat" under acceleration is virtually gone, and it handles the
slalom course like a completely different car. Much better on the highway
too. All parts took less than 3 hours to install and well worth the
effort.
Hope this helps you decide.
