    Talking Brand new Konis!

    Yup, picked 'em up from the post office today, rear Konis, never been used and in the original box instructions and all. Still looking for something for the front, doubt I'll get lucky enough to find a new front set anywhere, but if someone has some lying around, let me know.

    Nice score! I've got a few sets lying around my house.





    But they're for 1g and 2g Accords.

    Blah, you're no good

    Figured I got them for an ok price too, payed 150€ + shipping. For comparison, random brand stock replacements would cost around 120€ over here.

    Damn, why are parts so expensive over there?? I wouldn't think OEM struts would be so expensive...

    Heh, beats me. Stuff just is retardedly expensive here (compared to pretty much every country except some other European countries.), wanna compare gas prices? It's around 1.35€/liter here atm.

    And if you're talking actual OEM Honda shocks, i wouldn't be surprised if they were 200 euro a piece.

    Ah! No not actual OEM, just OEM replacement. And no, I try not to complain about gas prices. I often just drive around wasting gas.

    mine are used and mint.

    nafs any front will work out of a 2g prelude 3g accord or 3g prelude just swap the top hats and maybe the shock fork. i think even eg koni shocks fit the front of an accord.

    Great!! Where did you find this?
    About 4 years ago, I have asked KONI in UK, France, Holland and Germany but no luck.
    By chance I found one set on ebay in Germany and that is what I have now.
    Will be nice if you can find the front set.

    I found this shop from google, too and my friend in Japan has bought a set for 1st gen about 2 years ago. Great shop.
