Checked a couple places and this seems like a great price for Koni Sports, thought I'd pass it along, on sale until May (20% off).

Just picked up a set of inserts for 911 Boge units!

Indeed, great price. slight hijack follows -

I have meant to post this for some time - when I redid the front hubs, turbo tie rods, etc we wanted to replace the struts - originals were frozen on one side and had zero resistance on the other - made for an 'interesting' driving experience.

So, long story short, due to time and availability we went with the kyb inserts for the front - and I gotta say, as much bad press as kyb gets on all the boards, these perform pretty well. I will caveat by saying that we removed the kyb from the back and replaced with bilstiens and the ride is now tolerable, even pleasant. I would NEVER consider putting the kybs on the back - but for the front, pretty decent.

anyone need a pair of free, used kyb shocks for the rear? you pay shipping....

we now return to your previously scheduled programming....
