82-92 Koni/Eibach Springs/Shocks/Struts

I have a set of Koni yellow shocks and struts and a set of Eibach Pro-Kit springs I no longer have use for. They were installed in '01 and might have 15,000 miles on them. I have the receipts for them for their lifetime warranty.

struts: KON-8741-1030SPT 280.00 each from Summit Racing
shocks: KON-30-1265SPT 127.40 each from Summit Racing
springs: EIB-3801-140 225.95 set from Summit Racing

I will have pics up soon as I finish getting them off the car.

I would like to get $600+ shipping for them (damn near 1/2 price) given their low mileage and lifetime warranty that I have the receipts for.

ok, and? I am not advertising them as Made in the USA. The springs are made in Germany. The shocks even say "Holland" on them.

What is the ride like with these? Do they lower the car? I'm tempted to grab em up but a lowered car is miserable on roads around here

Rumor is, they are better quality. Koni is oriiginally a Dutch Company.

Re: 82-92 Koni/Eibach Springs/Shocks/Struts

The ride was great. The roads where I lived with the car are pretty bad too, and the only issues I had with ground clearance was the T56 mount (because it was made from angle iron) and the Borla 3" exhaust (because I didn't feel like cutting it to get it to tuck up more). I am going to go thru some boxes in the garage today because I think I also have the adjusting **** for them, although it is just a **** with a slot in it that you can use your fingers to adjust without.

The reason I am selling them is I have changed directions with the car. My DD, a '00 Corvette, is a far better platform for auto-x than my Z28 so I am going with a drag racing build for it now.

Hey, I would like to know what you would want for the shocks and struts shipped to 08004. I bought lakewood shocks from someone and they happened to be blown. Its just I would like to put somthing other then the oem replacements I have from auto zone.

I believe that all the Koni's and Bilsteins and Tokikos are ok for lowered cars.
