Fromxtor, so wait, are you saying there's something at the bottom to hold yours in? Or have you not welded on a threaded section for the gland nut on the top yet?
But anyway, I like the 8611, the 8610 is also good, but the compression curve didn't match the numbers I was looking for the last time I ran the numbers. But I think it was for an 600/500 setup. As for the rear, I'm not sure if the off the shelf yellow is the best option. I mean it will work, don't get me wrong there. But I just wish there was something a little more comparable in price and quality to the 8611 for the rear. But Koni doesn't offer any twin tube, double adjustable shock that would work for the rear for approximately the same price. You could always use a strut insert in the back and it should work fine.
Or I guess there is always the option of having Koni convert a yellow to double adjustable and well they're in there, they could also revalve it. I can't remember what it costs for them to do that, but it wasn't cheap, $400-500 per shock, I think. But in the end, you would still have a pretty nice setup.
As for ground control, just look at what I posted before. If you guys are that into this and want to save some money, you can find sleeves, collars and hats other places and then get Hypercoils springs from a lot of places and it will probably come in a good bit less than ground control. I'm not saying buy the ebay crap, but there are a lot of good quality pieces out there that will work for this.
And whoever said swift springs, why would you waste money on them, when there are better options easily available in the states. Hypercoils is my obvious choice, but even Eibach (who makes ground contols springs) would be better and cheaper than swift.
