    Where to get: Koni's Online

    Looking for suggestions on the best place to get Koni's online, with quick and easy shipping.

    Any suggestions? Turner, Pelican and ECS don't have the parts I am looking for...

      I've used shox.com before, with decent results. However, it's been a couple of years since I last used them.

          I got my race inserts from Amazon. They were the cheapest by quite a bit. Just search the part number.

            I had a look here, they had them in stock and can ship to my location but wanted over $200 for shipping on a $500 order.

            Messaged them for more info as their packages on their site are very vague and dont include part numbers or anything.

            Checked here but unfortunately they dont stock any Koni options for what I need.

            Also tried Amazon (both .com and .ca) but again, unfortunately dont have the part numbers I need...or state that they are currently unavailable.

              shox.com several times over the last 15 years.

              Phone call worked best for questions, iirc.

                Many suppliers have them drop shipped any way. You may want to try calling

                    They only have the rears, but not the fronts. I'd like to avoid shipping from two separate vendors if possible, since shipping and duties to up here can be a killer.

                      I ended up order from Shox.com. They were the cheapest price for both the items and shipping. Replied quickly to emails and phone calls as well. Great service.

                      Fingers crossed shipping goes well and I can have them in hand next week.

                        Just received the Koni's from Fedex, only took 6 days to order and arrive at my door. Everything is exactly as they said it would be and ready to go.

                        Great support from Shox and would definitely order from them again!

                          I really appreciate this thread. I search for things very often here throughout the r3v forums but 90% of everything I find is out dated. Some of it still works out but current vendors with accurate inventories is very very helpful.
