I'd always expected when the time came to have my Koni sport shocks/struts rebuilt, it could be done so at a significant savings over buying new parts, but the quote I got back from Performance Shock over at Sonoma Vly Raceway was $275/per corner, but it could be more if they needed additional parts to bring them back up to spec. They were great to chat with, and were clear that if the shocks were still available new then that's the way to go.
Is that a typical price? I was honestly just going to have them done as I've just ordered everything I need to rebuilt my suspension, steering and brake systems from the ground up. Once I have the front end disassembled I may find that they're still good, but I'm sure they're at least 15-20 years old. |

The kicker to all this is the fact that the rear hydraulic Koni's are NOT available with the EXCEPTION of NOS ones from Porsche in Germany. The NOS factory ones are NOT externally adjustable. They cost $255 each from Porsche. The new Koni Classics for the front ARE available but are NOT externally adjustable.
The gas versions are a different story. |
