Typically, those ride-height spacers come off & go on a shelf in the garage 
before any other suspension mods are done. I'd be surprised if Euro Panteras 
got different springs than US, at least as-stock. What spring pressures you run 
depends on what you expect to do with the car, the quality of pavement you 
expect to encoiunter, the car's total weight and how you drive. Finally, remember 
that with gas shocks, you add the effect of gas pressures to the spring 
strengths. Gas-pressurized Konis at 350 psi internal adds about 40 lbs of spring 
presssure. Cheers- J Deryke
