i have read that newer konis do rub due to the bottom sping cups being little bit larger grind a bit off ive herd,didnt have to do this myself due to (I THINK)the avon slopping sidewalls as the konis were purchased recently i pretty sure my rondells are 8j weather 7.5j are made i dont know!!hpoe that helps

Im running Bridgestone SO3 235 40 18 with Koni suspension, the cups have been cut and welded back flat, so no more rubbing, i used to run 225 40 18 but the 235 really fills the arches and i found looked a lot better, [/url]
