I just installed a set of the above Koni sports in my '89 200q and they fit
and work just fine ... the rear ride height was lowered a bit due to the
difference in spring perch location but that's okay by me given my plans to
install threaded collars as soon as the springs I ordered show up.
I bought them from RD Enterprises ... they don't normally keep them in stock
but agreed to divert a pair of each from the regular order from "some guy in
Minnesota who works on a lot of these cars." ;^)
