Need Help Price Matching Shocks!

Im trying to get the cheapest prices on either KYB AGX shocks and struts or KOni yellow sports so i can price match them to summits since they have a price matching policy. Finding major auto part stores that carrier KYB has been a challenge. Thanks guys!!

edit- found them at advance auto but about 40 bucks more than summit, also a few small stores that are associated with ebay for about 10 bucks cheaper but i doubt they would accept that as a price match

shox.com carries the KYB's for $539.00. I didn't check for the Konis.

Best I could find on the Koni yellows was within just a few bucks (like $5) of what Summit wants for 'em...

Re: Need Help Price Matching Shocks!

retail is $334 for the 8741 1030 sport fronts and $154 for the 30 1265sport rears. $500 for kyb anything is absolutely outrageous but that's just my opinion. i wouldn't pay $100 for a set. jobber for a distributor or employee is half of that so there is room to find deals. bilstein hd/sport or koni yellow is the way to go, just match your spring rate.

Re: Need Help Price Matching Shocks!

well i think im going to get the bilstein hd rears and the kyb fronts since there about 120 compared to 220 a piece for bilstein and i really need shocks since the front end of the car is drooping and the ride is horrible. also have to buy ttop weatherstripping at the same time, doing the ordering all on thurs when i get my second paycheck.

I'd suggest that the droop is spring related, not strut.

Wow....do the KONIs.

Odd that you should mention Konis. I finished the install only an hour or so ago (along with new springs).
