I have a pair of used front Koni DAs and a pair of used Koni rear SAs for sale.

The fronts:
One shock is just fine, as far as I know. The other has the shaft twisted off. When I was putting the shock on, I was a tad zealous with my impact gun and twisted off the end. Doh!

I bought them used and never got a chance to run them.

The rears:
I've had these on the car for about a year and they are in fine working order.

All are rebuildable, according to Lee Grimes at Koni.

I would let all go for $300 plus any costs associated with shipping.

I would get the shock repaired myself, but have decided to go a different route ...

We had a long talk with Gordon @ Koni yesterday. I was going to buy up the SLP Koni's to get them off the market, and to stop the bleeding they are causing in price. I want to make you aware of why I'm not going to do that, and it's important.

Apparently, these shocks are pretty old. What Gordon @ Koni told me is they bought a ton of them when they first came out in '94, many never sold. SLP was direct with Koni then, but is no longer because they bought so many and never sold many. Here's the trouble. According to Koni, shocks that have been on the shelf that long are going to have seal problems, the seals dry out when the shocks lay on their side for long periods of time. They are already had 4 or 5 folks wanting warranty on shocks with failed seals. Now, DA's have no warranty anyway, but if there is a problem with a new or nearly new one that is fresh we as dealers have some pull in getting them exchanged. However fresh the shocks are in terms of use, sitting can hurt the seals. Gordon expects in about 2 months of use to start seeing more and more seal problems on the shock.

They (Koni) and other vendors can't do anything about the price since SLP is not direct. And it's a good deal, at least on the surface, but as it was put to me "buyer beware" because apparently the shocks are New old stock
