UBER cheap Koni front struts...
http://www.classicgarage.com/classicgarage/86-2345.html

EVERYONE should buy these, unless you already have brand new Illuminas...

$50 a pop!

Hell, I think I wanna get some spares...

 

Do you have any more information from this site??? Because, they have a nice price for the Koni replacements.... This will be great if that is a secure site...

 

So they have front shocks only?

 

Koni no longer make rears for our cars.

 

What about these? http://www.classicgarage.com/classicgarage/26-1152.html

 

This is nice... Maybe someone can buy ones and tell us if they are Ok...

 

They list the rears too... as does Racing Beat and Tire Rack oddly...

Must be excess stock.

I've heard only good things about Classic Garage and they use Yahoo! for secure ordering...

Or you can fax them an order...

 

On that note, I'm ordering

 

I've already ordered mine using PayPal...

 

Just ordered the front pair, $110.75 with shipping. In another paycheck or two I'll order the rears. Then after that I'll get some RB springs. Anything else I should get while I'm at it?

 

Coil overs..?

 

Like bushings, sway bars, other suspension bits

 

Poly bushings, camber adjusters.... check my discussion thread...

Just ordered mine, that was a sweet deal!

 

all of the above, if you've got the cash

 

maybe mounts also. and anything else that is worn out

 

Mine arrived yesterday. Judging by the condition of the box, I'd say they had been sitting around for a while before they got marked down to $50 lol

Now I have to save $230 for the rears...

 

oh my god i hope these are available in the next few months

does anyone know for sure how stiff these are? are they comparable to the illuminas? stiffer? softer? more like the blues???

jsut to clarify, these are adjustable, but only when removed correct? i can't believe these are that cheap, and shipping is next to nothing....hopefully not too bad to canada

 

They have to be removed, yes. To adjust them you compress the strut and turn it.

People say that the softest setting is about as hard as Tokico Blue's. And from what I've heard, the hardest setting will rattle you to the core. I won't get to try them out personally until my car is back from the tuning shop.

They'll be mated with an Eibach Pro-Kit that I got on ebay for $237.40

 

So has anybody installed these yet? Any thoughts? Getting ready to order some, but just wanted to make one last check before I do. Thanks!

 

wow, it's only 23- 30 bucks a pop for SA's! But where do I find the rears? Tire rack and racing beat don't have them. Are they really adjustable too? In the description, they say it is, but only one kind (the 79-80 $100 ones) say their adjustable. Whats the deal?

 

I got my '83 rears from tirerack, $100 a piece. They are adjustable, in fact, they are much easier to adjust than the fronts.

 

I ordered some koni's from classic garage for my rx3. I sold the car to a friend who installed the koni's. They blew out after only a short time. Like someone else mentioned, the boxes look like they had been sitting around for 20 years. Don't know if you willl have any problems with the first gen koni's.

 

question- why do shock people stop making rears when they keep making the fronts? I can get front koni's, but i cant get the rears. I can get rear illuminas, but i cant get the front.
Why do they do this? It's so annoying!

 

I'm not too suprised. Hell, look at the colors on the boxes in my picture. Whoever can guess which one has been sitting for years wins... absolutely nothing, except a pat on the back for not being blind

If mine blow out quickly I'll see if I can get my money back then get some new ones. The rears from TireRack are brand new, so I doubt there'll be any problem with them.
