FD Koni shocks - Do the fronts come with spring perches?

I just bought a set of Koni shocks from a forum member, and was wondering if fronts were supposed to come with lower spring perches. The fronts didn't, rears did. Thanks in advance.

damn it... just to make sure, you are talking about the perches that holds the springs and not C-clips, right?

Thanks. I've contacted the previous seller about it and he's going to look into getting the perches for me... I also e-mailed Koni about perchasing them separately. Good thing it'll be another week until my springs are here.

Koni is pretty good about getting parts. I do suggest a phone call over an email though. Sometimes the parts need to be ordered from Europe.

I just called them they had every part except one in stock... which will be at least 3 weeks before they are in. Hopefully the seller can get Tirerack to do something about it.

I've just replaced the left front Koni shock. This is the third one.
The previous 2 leaked, the last one quite badly.

Makes me wonder if TireRack had a bad batch in stock. We'll see how this one does.

I have one spring perch if it is any help, all the others were sent to the recycler.

Thanks for the offer. UPS F'd up and lost all the hardware. Apparently, one of the front shock boxes busted open so they opened another front shock box and threw the shock in there, losing all the hardware in the process. The seller is in process of resolving this issue. Hopefully I'll have all my hardware soon.
