Koni rebuild
I have a pair of Koni shocks that I would like rebuilt. Where do I send them?

It's about 100 per plus parts. YMMV. That's what I was quoted (a year ago) from a place in Burbank, CA. Forget the name, but a lot of people (racers) know them.

I'm pretty sure Koni will do them as well.
It's worth checking out.

Call Koni North America and just talk to them.
800 922-2616 The price I got about a year ago was $100 plus parts for an estimate of $140 each, plus shipping. At that price it hardly seemed worth it unless you have some special double action racing units. There are some early front units that cannot be rebuilt. Shop around. BTW, the lifetime rebuild guarantee is only applicable to the original purchasers.

I had exactly the same experience as Djdsc. I emailed Koni about 2 mos ago and they quoted me a price ~$140 and actually said it's more cost effective to buy new unless you're looking for a particular valving.

Call Koni. If you have reciept (assuming you purchased them and added them to the car) and a current registration in your name, Koni rebuilds or replaces them for free. Just don't say you race the car.

They came with the car. I will look through old reciepts from previous owner. I got an PM who said he could rebuild them for $70.
Can only Koni rebuild them?

Call Paragon Products and talk to Jason.
Do not call Koni. It's toll free, but don't waste your time. Koni NA is useless. They will tell you to call Paragon, anyway. Last edited by Shuie; 09-30-2006 at 05:57 AM.. |
