    Koni Socks

    I want to run koni 82-2385 front and rear,

    Closed length being 373mm does anyone know how much if at all the front turrets need to be raised? or even raise bump stops?

    For the rear I need to convert to upper pin mounts, what have you guys used? ARB/Gwyn Lewis/TerraFirma etc?

    thanks guys

    Turrets have to be raised on the front.

    Probably need somewhere between 12-19mm to be safe, the standard bump stops compress at least 20mm.

    I got away with 1/4" or so to maximize droop as I used thinner bushes than standard on the body side of the pins top and bottom, and shortened the threaded section on the lower pins so they'd fit above the axle.

    Not sure about using them on the rears.

    I made spacers for the front turrets on mine but you can also buy +2" tubular type turrets from many places. For the rear I used Gwyn Lewis top mounts and extended bump stops all round. If you are going to buy from Gwyn maybe consider getting his front ones as well

    I'll get some pics on the W/E. It's a RRC but it will give you an idea of how I did it. You're welcome to come over and have a look if that's easier. I'm in Balwyn
    Cheers
