Default T2 springs for a weekend car mayhaps?

Is there any point or benefit in running Nismo's T2 springs with Koni sport shocks? or are the only koni's worth running the T2's on the TC Kline Konis? or am I (a weekend enthusiast) gonna get in way over my head pairing some kind of specialty valved koni with T2's? a definitive answer here would be nice, couldnt even find much in the motorsport section. thanks for any replies.

I would not get the T2 springs with regular Koni's, the springs are too stiff. I'm sure you could get some Koni sports revalved for 700 lbs springs though.

I have the TC Kline's with my T2 springs and the ride is fine for daily driving and awesome on the track. It takes some getting used to with how flat and responsive the car becomes.

FWIW, I emailed Koni about running T2 springs with my sport yellows and they said it would be at the upper limit of the shocks valving but within range. I can forward the email if interested.

I know Jason H raced T2 a couple of years ago with T2 Springs/Koni Sport yellows. He has since upgraded to another shock.

Also wanted to mention that the GB on double adjustable Konis is still on. Cost would be just a bit more then what SA shocks would be and you have a wider range of adjustment. Now your biggest problem becomes finding a set of T2 springs!
