Joelsplace is posing what should have been my original question, but my lack of knowledge prevented that. Thank you! My thinking was, with the adjustability of the Konis, coupled with the two cars being fairly close in weight, I thought it might be a cheaper alternative component for a high performance suspension. Some have suggested swapping the Camaro shocks from back to front and from front to back and pressing the Corvair bushing components into them along with spacers. However, without any data, I found it confusing, hence the post.

You cannot swap Camaro shocks from front to back, they are different lengths, I believe the rear gas Adjust KYB shocks the vendors sell are in fact Camaro shocks, What I have found is you want the KYB Excel-G low pressure shocks on the front and the KYB Gas-Adjust high pressure gas charged shock on the rear to handle the weight of the drive train in the rear, I have found the high pressure KYB on the front too stiff and makes the front end push in hard corners, the softer KYB works better in the front, I do have a set of re valved KONI's and they work very well, but the KYB's are almost as good and a lot cheaper, CA vairs sells the fronts with the lower mount already changed to become a bolt on unit, for $210 for all 4 its kind of a no brainer for me.

If you are looking for what you have called, "High Performance Suspension", then tear it ALL out and build 100% custom.
BUT, if you are going that route, then you might as well install an LS engine, and a Porsche rear-end!
But then, you do not have a REAL Corvair anymore.
You would be driving something that looks like a Corvair, but shares none of the true Heritage of what these wonderful little Beasties are all about!
I learned a Loooong time ago, that no matter how much $$$ you put into a car, there is ALWAYS going to be someone out there who is determined to put a larger and more ridiculous amount into theirs just because their warped ego demands it of them.
Whether it be Body and Paint, or Speed and Handling, someone just has to outdo you.
It is the main reason that we have Judged Car Shows, you know.
We have an entire industry built around our cars just waiting to take your hard earned $$$ to help you attain that goal of ultimate ego satisfaction!
Just look at S.E.M.A.
Since everyone and theirbrother Father seem to being giving their $o.o2, I will add my thoughts into this discussion.
Considering that there is ALWAYS someone better equipped out there than you, I drive my cars for my enjoyment, not for the sole purpose of humiliating others, That is not saying that I do not get ANY fun out of (ahem) passing another car on the road.
It is just not my sole purpose in owning a Corvair.
Personally, I can have fun driving ANY vehicle!
It is all about learning it limitations, accepting its limitations, and then driving THE DAYLIGHTS out of said vehicle within those limitations!
I used to have a ball driving my bosses 1-TON dually flatbed with a manual transmission all over Highways 101, 199, and, 299 in Northern Cal. as a kid.
I would push that thing between the Redwoods, and through those canyon curves like it was the worlds largest Porsche!
While it may have exotic, and some say almost "Italian Styling", I have always looked at a Corvair as more along the lines of an older English Sports Car, rather than a European Super Car.
The Corvairs strong suit is its already great handling, rather than it massive V8 power possessed by other cars from the sixties.
They were made for carving the curves more than winning drags.
If you are going to be driving tight and twisties through the hills, then you are looking in the right direction to be tuning-up your Handling.
BUT that being said, you do NOT need to be going right out and dumping a TON of $$$ right away!
While a lot of people swap out springs, I have never truly seen car springs wear out.
Trucks that haul heavy loads? Yes, their springs fatigue.
If you want a slight drop, and a bit tighter spring rate, do like stated, and just cut one loop off of the springs that you already have.
If you must have "Performance Shocks", then do as others have said, and purchase the KYB shocks recommended by Davemotohead.
The next Thing I would look at is something that no one has mentioned yet, unless I was not paying attention.
TIRES ! ! !
Since you say that, you are a "fairly new owner", I would concentrate on THOROUGHLY learning the car as it was made first, then advance to improving it.
In my not so humble opinion, tires are going to be your #1 factor in handling improvement, at least to begin with.
What is on the car now?
If you still have 13 inch rims, and want Performance Handling, ditch those 13's like they were last months old milk!
You NEED at least 15' inch rims with some lower profile tires.
Many around here have installed much larger rims, so we know that they WILL fit.
Rims, and new shocks!
Than I would drive your Corvair and learn it's limits.
AND it's quirks, and strengths ! ! !
Then you have a true Baseline to judge ALL future modifications against.
Again, just my opinion, and I am sure that many will disagree with me.
Sorry everyone, did not meant to be a j3M wanabe.

I read the entire thing Mel, "STUFF" is a widely used word here on the east coast, not good or bad, it means a lot of things, In this case info.. I was wondering if you had to yell into the mike to get bold LOL
When I think someone is full of BS like the Californian I let them know.

I figured I'd ask since this is such a "shocking" thread. I've pulled KYB shocks from Corvair's at Pick Your Part for the 25 years my Lakewood has sat wait a new life.
I have a set of KYB GR-2's 343127 which seems a correct number for the front. I have a second set that look very similar but have a part number of 344047 the application for these are a Dodge/Mitsubishi D-50 mini pick ups from 1979-1996. Did I get them off a Corvair??? Who knows,it was a LONG time ago. They are all good, no leaks and hold their gas charge..., and at $4.00 each, I couldn't resist.
Below are the specs from KYB for the Corvair replacements (343127) and the Dodge/Mitsubishi shocks (344047). I'm just curious if anyone is familiar with them? Ever used them?
Pt.# Extend Comp. Stroke
343127 13.58 8.66 4.92
344047 13.98 8.86 5.12
Lastly I pulled a standard type shocks off a Corvair (rear), no manufacture label with a number of A-75 H5D 78. I can't find anything on the internet.

All this brings up another point. If the shock is being installed in a position where it limits travel it must have internal top out bumpers. I installed an early version of the Gas a just on my 63 rear back in the early 90s. They blew out as soon as I raised the rear and they topped out. KYB replaced them with some that had the bumpers.
