    koni shocks... where to buy??

    just wanted to see if anyone can tell me, where is a good place to buy the koni's... or, what other shocks will work well with coil overs...

    also, what other car models shocks would fit in a 3g... I here that the 88-95 shocks fit??? what about 90-93 accord... I know the preloaded coilovers won't fit, but what about just the shock???

    please help.
    87 hatch (stolen)

    88 lxi 4dr, 5spd, threw a rod... in process of swapping engine from my 87 hatch (police recovered what was left of the car).

    the fucker that sold me the 88 is lucky he lives 500 miles from me...

    shox.com dont have koni's anymore. I mean brand new Konis i mean. I got the ast brand new set from them couple of weeks back. U can bet ur chance from tirerack.com and they sell them for 107 each and shipping is not included in em. So ur pretty much gonna spend around 450 or more fully shipped. anywho. U can get blisteins that are made for oru car and get the springs u want, get the spring rates on the front and rear, send it back to bliestien and get it revalved according to the spring rates.

    I would not recommend coil overs for ur daily driver unless u wanna have a cool ass non purposeful low look. I hate coil overs due to the fact they cost my left scrotum, and talking to JIm and finding out Progress group progressive springs are the best bang for ur buck. Firm yet nice handling in corners and they are a perfect marriage bwt konis and progress. But do know u need a camber adjustment kit or a 2nd gen lude upper control arms for it.

    I got mine last week and although they didnt say how many they had left I would imagine a few of at least i would hope. total cost inccluding shipping was 444.91 and then its off to have them modified by koni so there another few hundred. Mike

    I am having them revalved, shortened 1 in and getting them externally valved also. I am getting them shortened because i am currently down 2.5 inches and that is about the limitations of these struts. Besides if you wanna go go big right.
