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. |

I sent some Koni red struts out to PSI to be rebuilt, they said it wasn't worth it and recommended new - which means gas charged and externally adjustable.
I had them revalve new yellow sport units back to Koni red specs and lose the gas - they also dynoed the shock before and after to show the difference. Pricey ($400ea), but gained external adjustability. |
