Regarding Spax vs. Koni, I decided to go with Spax because you can adjust
them on the car. Konis have to be removed to be adjusted. Or so I was
told. Can't comment on ride yet because I am doing to the same project
you are (and then some!) and its not back on the road yet.
Regarding rear tube shock conversion, I decided to stay with the lever
shocks, but I purchased the uprated (Stiffer) lever shocks from Apple
Hydraulics. The reason I stayed with lever shocks is because several
sources told me that I had a better chance of running wider tires without
clearance problems if I stayed with levers. Aparently, some of the tube
shock conversions can create some clearance problems. Your mileage may
vary. ;-)

...Also I'm trying to decide between the shocks Koni or Spax? What's the
difference?... And final question, I've read a lot about the rear shock
conversion kits. Moss says the tire width
should be limited to 190/60 or something. do all of the kits have the same
restrictions. are some better than others. is this a wise decision?...
Thanks everyone!
