Anyone have Koni's rebuilt ?

[hoosierdaddy]

I was just wondering if anyone has had a pair of Koni's rebuilt and what was invovled ? I removed a pair (rears) from my car this weekend that need to be rebuilt and I didn't know if they were of interest to anyone or just pitch them .

[Elombard]

I dont think they can be? The high end racing ones can but the "reds" and yellows are not IIRC.

If they are adjustable (red ot higher end) YES they are rebuildable, but for the price of rebuilding them IMO buy new ones.

I had this pair of rear Koni dbl.adj. shocks for the rear of my
914/6 redon this past January.

I had Truechoice Motorsports up in Ohio do'em.

Total cost w/the new springs was $525.00

FWIW,

Are you the original purchaser? Koni says their shocks typically outlive the car, so if you are and can prove it, you may be able to work the warranty.

KONI BV warrants all new KONI shock absorbers to the original retail purchaser against defects in material and workmanship, excluding mounting rubbers, washers and bushings, when used under normal operating conditions. This will be either by repair or replacement of the defective product. KONI is not liable for costs that exceed the sole obligation as described in the preceding sentence.

Not included, in any case, in the guarantee are deficiencies which arise from or are completely or partly caused by :

• Improper instalment;

• Normal wear and tear;

Or / and shock absorbers that are installed :

• As OE equipment on any vehicle;

• On any vehicle that has been modified for a use other than or in addition to its originally use;

• For any application that is not specified in the KONI literature;

• On any vehicle that has been used off-road, for Racing or for any other driving competition

I'm not the original owner and they are just the reds so I don't think its worth the expense and bother. Thanks to all for their input .
