Help which koni shocks I am going to replace front and rear shocks. I would like to go with koni single adjustable. Everyone here seems to think they are the best shocks available. I am looking for a good ride quality, but need to adjust to perform well at the track also. I'm going to use stock springs, I don't want the car lowered. I see there is a sport yellow shock? And some others . Which ones do I need?

the yellow SPORT shocks come in multiple variations. starting with (off-car) single adjustable and going up to double adjustable, so the "cheap" set of Koni Yellows is the single adjustable set you are looking for.

I just don't see why the need to spend so much more on double adjustable.

Absolutely. Koni yellows also have 2 spring perch locations for the front shock. The upper is stock height, the lower gives a very slight drop on stock springs. Car will feel much better with Koni shocks on the stock springs. Much better ride quality.

my MWC fab 9 has transverse shock mount brackets. Which is not what the koni shocks come with. Is that available for the koni? I think it would need to be converted to a bushing or bearing mount.

yup, the Koni single adjustable (rebound) are what I have. I ran them on the stock springs for about a year. To adjust the fronts, I had to slightly jack the front to expose the adjustment slot. Then you insert an allen wrench or a pick to move the adjustment left or right to either stiffen or soften the rebound. The rears are easy to install and adjust. The adjustment uses the Koni **** that you slide over the top and turn. Whoever does the install, make sure the adjustment slot is facing outside the car; otherwise, adjusting might be impossible if facing the otherway. I installed them myself, and when tightening the top nut on the fronts, the adjustment slot can rotate a little, so you might have to work at it a little. I got mine from Sam Strano, and he gave me some suggested beginning settings - worked great! Have fun!
