Unanswered: Koni shocks with adjustble coil

A few years back I have made these adjustable Koni shocks and it’s the solution for everyone who wants the car set on the height he wants.
I still use the original leaf spring bud with the DOHC motor I’ve build in it was a little bit too heavy for the front suspension so I came up with this solution.
Maybe an idea for those who wants too adjusts his car too.
Greetings,
Thom

Pete,
If you are in the racing scene it is not so difficult too get coils in any form ore shape, maybe its not so clear on the picture bud the letters on the coil stands for length: 250 millimeter and strength: 30 KG.
The picture below shows the shock with the welded on (screw) thread

That's the ticket, all right. How I wish it was legal in my form of racing...
I do wonder if the shock tower can take much spring pressure, though.

No Opels were harmed in the filming of this movie.
However two Mustangs, a Pinto, and a Capri were hospitalized.
One Mustang was euthanized the next morning.

Jeff,
That little bit of extra pressure is no problem at all, like I said, I’ve been
driving around for a few years now with zero troubles.
In my opinion its a fine way to set the car in any position in height you wants
