Re: who has the cheapest prices for koni yellows????

Looks like a set of Koni sports from The Tirerack would be $792 ($272 ea for front, $124/ea rear ...the rears had been $100 for awhile). Shox.com is $788 for a set (individual pricing not available online). All this before shipping.

Re: who has the cheapest prices for koni yellows????

Man they want a rediculous amount of money for those shocks and struts...I heard its worth it but man 125.00 a piece is more than enough you'd think!

Re: who has the cheapest prices for koni yellows????

I just got mine from www.assaultech.com (some small 2 man company I found while searching for the exact same thing) and I got the struts for $240 each shipped. From the research I did and the post I made here, Koni will do a promotion about once a year for 20% off and that brings them down to $218 at www.tirerack.com.

I did not check the price on the shocks, I didn't have the money to get those right now.

I saw some koni reds at the junkyard on a firebird, didn't know they worth anything, I just saw they were aftermarket. Too bad I didn't get them

I've been looking myself. Shox.com has been going up like crazy. Used to be 688, then 788, now 814. Summit will be around 8 something, Spohn will be around 8 something unless you catch him on a sale.

I've resigned myself (for the time being) to possibly just getting the rears at one time, and the fronts at another. It will cost more but I will get them. I know that you're supposed to get all 4 at the same time, but since I'm still in the rebuilding shell stage, I can get away with that method. I don't know what the other site I checked was but it was around 812 or so.
