Koni Shocks and struts cheap!

I decided to get a set of Koni shocks and struts and AutoAnything had the best price I could find. Then after I placed them in the cart they had a coupon code for 15% off and free shipping for first time customers.

I got all 4 delivered for $589.73! That's like free rear shocks.

Now that I am posting this I am sure someone knows where to get them for $200.00.

Anyway just thought I would pass this on. They said the sale runs till the end of next week.

Re: Koni Shocks and struts cheap!

Nice!
Been waiting to find a good deal on these for a while. So far this is about the best that I have found, minus their end of the year sale but even that is around $600 I think? Now just to talk the other half into why I need new parts lol.

Are the rears adjustable with a **** (like the struts) or are they the ones that you have to remove to change settings?

You have to take them loose. I don't think anyone has Koni Yellows with a **** from what I read.

Really, They work with no problems??

I can still send these back if that's the case and exchange them. I may start a new thread.

Re: Koni Shocks and struts cheap!

Summit have them on sale until tomorrow but they are out of stock. Autoanything is more expensive before the promo code but that code drops them below Summit's sale price. I already ordered them from Summit but I'll see if they can match the price.

Re: Koni Shocks and struts cheap!

HaHa! I read the title with cheap in it and thought you were bashing Koni and calling them cheap. I understand now. I have Konis and enjoy them very much!

Yes but 87SC/SS, says 93 shocks work and are adjustable with out taking one end loose.


I am going to call Koni in the morning and ask them about it.

And that was my point as well. Any shock listed for a fourth gen will fit a third gen, in fact, first gen shocks will work as well! Most people don't realize that.

2nd gens had different shocks, but all others interchange.

I misread your first post. I thought it was 82-92 Guess I read it so much that way it was just in my head that way.

Thanks for the info.
