Hi Gents,

I have a fresh engine rebuild on my 89 Daytona Shelby and I am looking to install my new Koni rear shocks. My goal is to get rid of that sagging look in the rear. I do not do autocross or any serious street racing. What springs would be a great and long lasting application. Price really is not to much of a factor, I dont mind spending money on a product that has positive results and durability. Thanks in advance

I'd say stock 89 Shelby Daytona:amen: Your springs are what I use on the rear of the TC Maserati's, I've done about 4 'conversions' to the Daytona rears to eliminate that stock, undersprung sagging look...

These might give you some new found lift in the back end.

Are you putting Koni's up front? I heard there are lower isolators in the front of these cars but have never seen any, My Koni's run without front lower isolators but I run 2801 Eibachs on them and my 87 ShelbyZ sits with a slight fwd rake. Just have the stock isolators in back.

I havent thought about what Im going to run up front. However, I for sure am a huge fan of Koni suspension products. Thank you for the link, I will check it out and see if it will make a difference.
