Re: GP suggestion...KONI YELLOWS

Re: GP suggestion...KONI YELLOWS

Why are Konis so expensive. Do they last longer than the normal WS6 suspension or is it the name that it has. Just a thought.

I would be up for buying them if I hate a couple grand for them

What would be another great possiblityfor a performance shock?

Re: GP suggestion...KONI YELLOWS

The Koni Yellows are the sportier one and arguably the best shock/struts for our cars (some say Bilstein is better).

They don't cost anywhere near a couple grand. You can buy all four (two front struts and two rear shocks) for roughly $660 from Hotpart.com. Plus, they come with a lifetime warrenty.

I'm ready to shell out the cash with Hotpart for these shocks and I need them ASAP, so unless this happens soon I won't be involved in this.

When I looked at the Koni website it said $531 for the front pair and $246 for the rear pair. Thats $777 plus whatever the tax is

Heres the url :http://www.koni-na.com/cat_search.cf...=11&submit.y=3

Like I said in what you quoted me on... you can get the same exact parts from Hotpart.com for about $110 cheaper than buying directly through KONI. You still get the lifetime warrenty, the same support and tech info... same exact thing, just from a different vendor.
