Of course, I have to admit that I'm building my DSR up with Konis, but that's a different story. ITB car is Bilsteins all around, and can go for years without a rebuild...
wow! have not heard about any thing bad about konis bad on IT cars. i do know of some that failed because there was not enough travel but i consider that a user error and not a koni failure.
but my humble crx is not as fast as certain 924's..........
for heat transfer, i have always heard that you want to fill the void with an oil or ATF or something so you don't have an air gap.
i have never needed my koni's rebuilt but they were dynoed, serviced and revalved once for free when i was at the NASA Nationals. that was part of the Koni service while they were at the event.
