Where to buy Koni shocks ?

[Jean]

Other than shox.com and possibly bma is there another good source for new koni adjustable front shock inserts ?

Looking for best price but with warranty..

Thanks.

Thank you!

Didn't know there were two types of koni sport adjustable front shocks for the e30! One is a Twin Tube hydraulic standard adjustable and one is Twin tube Low pressure gas, externally adjustable mcphearson strut cartridge... Maybe it's Front/Rear..

Picked an 89 325i car -
KON 80 2522SPORT - "External rebound adjustment on most cars "
KON 8641 1021SPORT - "

For fun I picked 84 318i, and it shows KON 8641 1021SPORT and KON 8641 1029SPORT


Either site is wrong, or they actually do have koni sports for thin strut tubes... wtf. I gotta check with another source tomorrow...

They're also available from Pure Motorsport, one of our forum sponsors. Check with them, they may be able to give you a better deal, being a site sponsor. Their banner should rotate to the top at some point. I got mine from them.

check this: http://www.nolimitmotorsport.com/koni/apps-BMW.html

It shows the 8641 1021 is for 51mm strut tubes and the 9641 1029 is for 45mm strut tubes. Weird thing is that AJUSA site shows that the 91 318i/is has the 45mm strut tubes- which is not right.............

Whar?

And how long do Koni's last on full-soft? I haven't changed them to "full-medium" yet.

sent a pm your way.


i've never owned Koni's but they have a lifetime warranty...SO that being said, I see that as a non-issue.

I bought mine through another seller on ebay.de, he was selling them with koni springs for an E30 and I sold the springs on ebay.com to make the shocks cheaper. I don't have the lifetime warranty since I didn't buy them directly from Koni though...

i warn. buy the fronts from Ground-control. them corrado shocks had real long shafts but this is my experience, people keep telling me i did something wrong. 8641 1021 sports stamped on them so idk. 8641 1021spgc from GC is what i run now

What's this I hear about Koni race shocks that support the spring rates in the 500-700 rate better than the off the shelf koni yellow adjustables ?
