Quick question (maybe?).   I am replacing the existing Koni front adjustable
shocks (PN 80-1784).  Bushings are worn out as likely are the shocks. Same
with the rear adjustable SPAX shocks on my '69 TR6 racecar.  I am more
familiar with Bilstein, Koni and MCS.  

 

Any preference?  Spax and Gaz are unknown to me, but the external adjuster
is appealing compared to having to remove the Koni's every time I need to
adjust the suspension.

 

Using the "while I am in there" approach, I will be replacing all the
front/rear suspension bushings.  Have purchased Nylatron bushings.  Cannot
find Delrin products for TR6.

 

Thanks,

 

Mark Cook
