FS: Koni SA shocks

Thought I'd post these here first, before going "public".

18 month old Koni SA "yellows". The hot ticket for BS RX8's, but this set only seems to work one day per weekend

Anyhow, I got around to pulling them off of the RX8 tonight and they are now ready to go. I'm figuring $300 is about fair. Let me know by PM if you want 'em.

Very fair price. Good luck with the sale Mike.

And keep that Shelby shiny side up!

Ground Control makes springs that compliment konis very well.

I'm sure GC has springs made for them that are compatible with the Konis...a spring is a spring (given the same stock material).

It looks like the Konis are gone.

a) Ground Control sells Eibach coilover springs

b) These Koni shocks only accept OE-type springs

c) GC offers nothing for these RX-8 shocks

I found that very odd when I received my Rx8 set. The konis I got for my Rx7 had adjustable perch settings. Imagine my surprise.
