TX FS: Konis and MS Springs

Konis = Sold to Myardor
Mazdaspeed Springs = Sold

Hopefully tomorrow evening I will finish installing my coilovers so I can clean up/get pictures of the shocks and springs. They have ~25k miles on them and work perfectly. Only thing sorta weird is that one of the front shocks has a tiny bit of fluid come out when you adjust it, but I've been assured that it is "normal." It hasn't had any fluid come out in months since I haven't adjusted it after the install. The springs are a .8" drop all around. I already have a prospective buyer for the shocks, but he already has springs. The prices are obo, but I think the prices are pretty fair. Everything is in Waco right now, but I am making a trip to Galveston Thursday/Friday so I can meet up along either Hwy 45 or 6 if you let me know. On Oct 30/31 I will be in DFW. On Nov 9 I will be in San Antonio.

Yes, I will. I will be around Hobby on Thursday and Friday

Found this on the net.....

The original theory behind adjustable shocks was to allow for compensation of wear over time.
Although we use a number of low friction materials and devices in a KONI so they wear at a much slower rate, they are still a mechanical device subject to wear over time. This way after 30,000- 50,000 or more miles if you notice that the car is not quite as crisp as it used to be, then you can give it a quarter or half turn to freshen it up.
----------------------------------------------
So guess the shocks are due an adjustment.

Thanks for the bump. I'll have those REARS to you as soon as I can get the rear coilovers installed. It was nice meeting you earlier!
