Best place to buy Koni yellows...

Nearly two years and 80K miles on the JCW shocks and they are shot! Very floaty, until those multicellular jounce dmapeners begin to work...very odd feeling.

I am on the East coast - NY. Any advise? Anyone but TrueChoice.

I got mine from Tire Rack since they were on sale back in late May or early June.

In the past, I've bought Konis and Bilsteins from shox.com.

FWIW, I've used Tripoint / Pro Parts in CA for rebuilds and custom valving. i've also bought plenty of brake parts from them over the years.

have you thought about getting a set of coilovers? on my old BMW 3 series, my stock shocks went out and i upgraded to a coilover system (nearly $3k)... boy, it felt like a totally different car with the coilover; i loved it. I know Eibach makes a good set... saw this in person at AMVIV6

Michael: Quit screwing around and get a set of TSW-tuned KW coilovers. You'll thank me!

AJ USA had a good price when I got mine. I had Detroit Tuned match the price though.

KC jr 54,

I had a couple of very bad experience with those folks in the late 90s. Not very nice people either.

Ryan...this is just temporary...I may also just keep the JCW kit on for the winter...my company may get rid of the car next summer and it may be given to me, but with nearly 200K on it. At that point I will gut it and begin over...I truts your recommendations for sure! By the way, you were nearly right about MR for a MacStrut...They're not quite 1:1 but close enough!

Tripoint /Pro Parts sends them to Truechoice for the custom valving.
