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. |

Normal pricing.
Had them check two Koni Red rears; one good, one bad. Pricing had me return them to storage—because I will probably have PSI rebuild them at some point. Did Bilstein HDs and regret that decision. PSI's price seems more than fair for the work involved, and the option to make the rears double adjustable "while we're in there" didn't sound that bad after I got over the initial estimate. Just need to figure out what to do with the front. Need to raise the spindles and figure out red inserts. |
