I'm sure someone would love to snap up a set of nos koni struts and shocks for a p body.
I know this is an old thread, but I don't suppose those Koni's are still available?

I wonder if a BC setup could be spec'ed in the DS (drift spec) series.... they are more compliant for daily drivers but control like mad when needed.

I haven't had any built and it would probably also be more expensive because they have gotten more strict about what constitutes a full kit. Half DS and half BR would be two half kits which is a lot more expensive.
It looks like the DS kit would be an option for the lbody though.
The DS is about a $200 upgrade from the BR for a full kit which might hold for the lbody but the half kit problems would make the GJKHPA prices quite a bit more.

do they have a single eyelet, single threaded stud style?
i thought i remember someone drilling a hole in the rear between where the double eyelet shock bolts in up top and installing another style with success.....

Before I got a more bolt on solution I was considering that as the best option potentially with a U channel type bracket that bolts to the eyelet mounts on the bottom and is then the hole is drilled both through the bracket and the body so that the body isn't taking the full load.
So it should be possible. The Pbody bottom mount is also narrower than the lbody but that can be changed.
It is possible but it is a bunch of work to figure out if it is a one-off.

Are the Koni struts for the g/j/h/p/ etc. body cars still rebuildable? I have a front set which is in cosmetically great condition, but to say the car is under damped with the eibach springs on the front is an extraordinary understatement at this point, and I don't think I would want to drive my NYer much as a result. If I can get them rebuilt, I would probably swap them onto Lancer 356, and use the new struts from that car for a replacement.
I've heard that the L body Koni struts are no longer serviced, and some are going to an insert. That might be an option for the P body cars too I guess.
