RD Enterprises (aka shox.com) or Strano's. The Tirerack also carries Konis.

You could also try hotpart.com
I bought my koni yellows and pro-kit from shox.com and am in the process of installing them as I type.

Strano Performance Parts not only carries Koni, but I use them almost exclusively on my own cars (which have included 2 3rd gens over the years, one of which I won my 1st National Championship in).

What's more is there are options on Koni's for 3rd gens not everyone is aware of...

Re: Best place for Konis

I have noticed that sam strano is cheaper than anyone I have found on konis myself.

But does anyone know the best way for replacing strut mounts on 87 Iroc?

Do I really need to bump up to a sherical bearing from like spohn, or J&M, if I just want a little more power?

Or can I just replace Bearing?

I've seen double adjustable fronts and rears. But he probably knows about more than that...

Now if I just spouted it out everyone would know and details that make me a better source for parts kind of slide away. I don't hide information from my customers, and I hate to keep it to myself in general. But these days many seem motivated by only the bottom line and will go somewhere else over $5. I'm a small guy and while I do my best on price I'm not always the cheapest (but never the most expensive). And I like to think that details I can supply and information and experience I have isn't something you can get just anywhere.....
