    Koni shocks & springs

    No doubt this'll be posted in invisble ink, but I'll give it a go anyway...

    As you may have seen from various posts on the boards, I'm after Koni shocks & springs for old whitey. Preferably a full set, but if you only have fronts...or rears...or even just the springs for sale, let me know please, as hopefully I'll be able to put a full set together that way.

    Cheers.

    Re: Koni shocks & springs

    What sort of money you looking at spending as money always talks also depends on me getting hold of some standard shocks/springs from my work place.

    Yes they are a full set, well supposedly a full set when I got the car, haven't been driven on for that long either. I guess ill take a look at them when I get a chance.

    Id rather change for new ones, by the sounds of other posts your suspension sounds a bit crap thats why you want to change it.

    Re: Koni shocks & springs

    I wouldn't go as far as saying they're crap, just a bit soft, you geeza. The springs should be ok though, so that might save you (and me ) some moolah.

    What condition are they in?

    If they're tip top to the hippidy hop, I'll pay the dollar.

    Re: Koni shocks & springs

    From what I remember the bloke saying, he only done about 1k miles on the car and they were new on after he purchased the car. Springs are about 23 each so if replacing all, might as well go for the full lot.

    Ill let you tomorrow, should be able to give them a good look at if it aint chucking down with rain.
