Koni shocks where to buy

**Chris Shades** · 11-01-2009, 01:59 AM

Im looking for the best deal on koni shocks for my daytona. Front and rear, I remeber hearing somthing about 375.00 shipped and was wondering if that deal was still around or somthing better.

$375 is def. a deal. I found them on ebay for $369

If you look here I think they add up to like $360 or something:

How do these compare to coilovers?

I'd also check out The Tire Rack, they sell Koni and are a vendor here.

I just got a set last week on ebay from LTB. I bought the set listed for Chrysler 300's. They were 367 shipped vs 379 shipped for the ones listed for Chargers. They are the same part numbers just a different title for the listing. I purchased on the 19th and received on the 26th or 27th... The lowest I seen them listed is 356.00 shipped from the same company. That was back in July.

Depending on your location, Tire rack will likely get em to you quicker if your in a hurry. LTB says to allow up to 10 days to receive...

edit*
Sorry, I was looking at the November calendar. I actually received them on the 23rd...

How do you like them?

I've got Eibachs right now and I know they are stiff but are the Konis that much smoother/softer than Eibachs?

Not too much bounce and good with lowering kits? What about the gaps from the tire to the fender? With my Eibachs (and springs) I've got about an inch of gap space there.

I'm just wondering if in the future it would be worth it to change over to Konis. I like my Eibachs but it can be a little stiff at times.

I dont know what Eibachs are like. I replaced my 50,000 mile stockers with the Konis. I probably should have replaced them back in May when I put the Hotchkis springs on. Over the last couple of months I lost that glued to the road feel I had after first installing the springs. Ive had the Konis on a week now and I can say I love the ride and its not too stiff. I have about an inch gap on the front and still have about 1.50 to 1.75 on the rear. I would prefer the rear to be a bit lower.

Im sure you've read this if you've been looking into these. This is how they're described... "Not only is KONl Street suitable for stock suspensions, but will also compliment other aftermarket suspension upgrades such as lowering springs, sway bars, etc."

It would be interesting to hear if someone has the Koni Shocks/Eibach springs combo. I believe most with the Eibach springs tend to go with the Eibach Dampers...

I've got them, granted I'm bagged.....but I had them on the car with just lowering springs before the bags. To me, you can't go wrong with them. I like a sporty feel, but not the feel like my car has no suspension at all. They let you get the feel of your lowering springs, without the harshness and rigidity

Oh, and to the OP......I bought mine from LTB as well
