Koni Shock absorbers

both, not sure on the o/d,s

Thanks. Tangent - Sounds like coilovers/Airshocks wont fit through the front perches in that case.

I don't have to worry about the fronts hitting the springs as I run eas turrets.

Will see if I can borrow some and see how bad they fit, have a mate with some cruiser ones he's yet to fit.

Check out the damper placement on this US RRC build: KOH 2015 RRC build - Page 2 - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

It's very tight, but he has fit coil-over dampers (without the springs screwed on) in the original front position. You might need a pirate login to view.

Bugger.

You wonder how Koni can sell them if the space is so restrictive.

Slunnie, the OD is 70mm for the bodies, then you have the dust cover.
FWIW I machined off the dust covers on the TLC 80 Series I'm running as originally I was going to invert them and use cut down Billie bodies as an external reservoir.

Excellent, thanks for this Rick - very interesting fitment wise!

Serg has a pair of 88 Series on the rear and I can't recall him ever mentioning them fouling anywhere.

Beadell tours run 90 Series all round on their 110 and rave about them on their website.
Maybe a case of sponsorship ?

Haven't rung Superior yet, just drafting an email for some specific diff lube for a certain locker and finalising an order from Karcraft.

[edit] Just emailed Superior/Profender requesting open/closed lengths. Will try and ring tomorrow.

Yeah I've read and heard of quite a few rovers running the 90 series with no dramas, it may be a long travel thing though. But I did feel like I was being spoken down too in our conversation, I thought I'd rung jacmac for a minute there:)

Will be good to here how you go rick, I think I will go down this route as well, I just don't know much about the Amada or Profender shocks in regards to reliability etc.....I think Suspension Stuff deal in them as well.
