You sold me. That's what I ordered

335iPaul · 07-02-2009, 10:39 PM

what did you get them for and from where?

kyleb350 · 07-02-2009, 10:41 PM

$850 from **********s. There were places that had them cheaper in June, but for some reason went up this month. One vendor said they were out of the Koni's in California... anywaaay. That seems to be the best price I can find for them now.

Vudoo4u2 · 07-02-2009, 10:43 PM

i got mine direct from tirerack for roughly the same back in the day? they came within a day b/c they ship from indy

**********s is good tho

imo, for a DD, they are perfect, car should have come this way stock/sport

make sure you get it aligned after install/settle

335iPaul · 07-02-2009, 10:44 PM

imo..they handle jagged crap roads much better than stock shocks..if anything, thats what you will notice the most on a daily basis vs sport suspension (since we arent exactly hitting turns @ 50 on a daily basis driving to/from work...at least im not haha)

I do have one 25mph ramp that I enjoy hitting at 60mph (on a closed course of course). I would be going from non-zsp suspension to the drop to.

going from non-zsp to this I think youd want to drive every hour of the day for a week or two until you burnt yourself out...and needed another alignment

kyleb350 · 07-02-2009, 10:56 PM

Oh man. non-zsp? You'd definitely love it

335iPaul · 07-02-2009, 10:58 PM

Wondering if I need different sways while I am at it since I dont have the ZSP (not sure if it includes different ones) but I will dig in the suspension forum some more for that one.

Vudoo4u2 · 07-02-2009, 11:10 PM

front sways are easy install, rear sways involve dropping the rear sub assembly to install...reallllly pricey (relatively speaking..)

Thats why if I needed them I was going to do them at the same time as the suspension.
