£360 for Konis

[terrybullwon]

Car is going into the garge on thursday......... timing belt, and H&Rs going on due to order of new rims BUT i was going to change the shocks and then i found the price tag!!!! the guy was as shocked as i was! I searched the forum and found that some where was doing them for £73 but the link was broken

So do i just run standard shocks for a bit or wait untill i can track some thing down or billes? Any thoughts welcome James

You can get H&R coilovers for a little bit extra :mischeif:

What do you mean James

depends on how quickly you need them but I found shocks in the US to same in $ as we pay on £, ie they pay $100, we pay £100, if you send them surface mail from the US then shipping only costs $50 but takes 5-6 weeks, not sure if you are allowed to send them air mail as they are pressurised.

wow... what about paying the extra tax??? for imported goods?.... im interested... have you got a link or contact?

[Markarina]

not sure but I didn't have to pay any extra tax, but then the they weren't from my companies US office with a statement on the customs form to the effect that they were left behind from a previous trip, which probably meant they slipped by un-noticed on the basis the assumption was that I had taken them to the US in the first place.

I bought bilstein rather than Koni, but go the worng thread size which means I have a set of front shocks that don't fit my S2 but fit just about every other Audi

I got mine from eshocks

My Kony supplier can do a full set of Koni sports adjustable (off car) for the coupe for 360 GBP inc. vat

kewl thx ... but which set is it? ... cause it never states s2.... but coupe turbo 81-89 (ur quattro prob) and coupe quattro 91-95???


also @ alered can they do good as that for bilstein shocks?

[pixsaudisex2]

dont remind me remember paying closer the 700 mark when i needed them quick and that was just for konis and springs

[Greg_S]

might be worth looking at the bilstein gas shocks instead
