My 74' 2.0 came equipped with Koni Yellow adjustable 7 years ago. Don't know details on springs but VERY stiff - thinking 180lbs or more. Indy quoted 6K for compete suspension redo (koni/coilovers, bushings, etc). He then recommended an Option 2 where I keep existing Konis when he realized mine are adjustable, and just replace the springs with lighter and replace all bushings. Also mentioned something about trailing arm shaft? Total for option 2 is +/- 1,500 - 1,800. Both quotes seem very high to me but I frankly don't know. Indy is new to me and by all accounts very knowledgeable and reputable. Feedback, thoughts, recommendations appreciated.

1500-1800 to replace springs and bushings is a good price.
Replacing front and rear bushings is quite a bit of labor.

Keep the konis, they are probably just fine
