Default TCK rear shocks
A buddy of mine is likely to go with a spring/shock set up and was looking into Koni shocks.

Anyone know what the difference between the TCK SA Koni and the off the shelf Koni? Link Below:

Looks like they're top adjustable. Any other differences?

Thicker shaft, top adjustable, shorter droop length, better valving, require RSMs.

I've used both these and regular Koni rear shocks on the 46M with OEM springs and the TCKs ride a smidge smoother.

The top adjustment is a huge benefit if he wants to adjust settings, IMHO.

Appreciate the replies and info. The price isn't really all that different than standard Konis. I'll let him know this info.
