Hi guys, happy Friday.
I have a matched pair of red Koni rear shocks, one is good but one is bad. The bad one doesn’t move freely and binds, so needs a full rebuild. What would you do with these things? Last time I looked rebuild costs on these were fought the same as buying a new 737-800, but freely admit I am out of the current thinking on how/where to get these rebuilt. Thanks!  |

Koni has a rebuild program, it costs about the same as replacing them with new. That said, when you get them rebuilt they can re-valve if you are running springs that are different rates from stock. I read that their turn around time is not good.

The Koni website directed me to a rebuilder uo at Sears Point that was going to be $450+ to have them rebuilt. Thanks! |

I am sure there are other Koni rebuilders out there, I just don't know who they are. |
