Rebuilding Koni Shocks Cost, More $$ than I was expecting Options

[RoadGlue]

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.

Koni shocks cost more to rebuild because of how they are built. The $250 a shock is expensive in general. Normal prices are closer to $150 a shock plus part for Bilstien inserts.

Been researching doing up my faulty Bilsteins "yellow" struts,and found a price of $127/side a while back.
Mine were really stiff and hardly moved up or down,the spears are in good condition with chrome pretty much unmarked,I see Summit racing have rebuild kits but I haven't checked the numbers on mine to see if they have the right kit.
A company in my country called Autoalign offer a rebuild service ,might check them out.
