Used Koni Sport (yellow) with Swift Spec R Springs for R53

Category: Suspension
Price: $700
Private or Vendor Listing: Private Listing
Part fits (you may select multiples): R50, R52, R53
Location (Region): SouthEast
Item Condition: Used

This is my previous setup, and to be honest, it was a little stiff for my liking for the roads here in the Norfolk/VA beach area, but to some, it may be perfect. I never tracked this setup and the Koni's were set 1/2 a turn from full soft up front and 3/4 of a turn from full soft in the rear. Some people rave about this setup, and I will say this, on even decent roads, this setup was fantastic. In the twisties it performed awesome and I ran it with an HSport Comp rear sway bar.

This is a low mileage setup, I bought everything new. I bought the Swift springs from Fortune Auto in Richmond (an authorized Swift dealer) and I bought the Koni Sports from Summit racing. I've had the Swift springs for a bit longer and had them on my stock shocks for a little while as well. I never measured the full drop, but it was nice and even front to rear and looked great. They were taken off because I came across an unbeatable deal on some KW V2 coilovers and those are now on the car (but will probably be for sale soon )

The Swift springs have exactly 5,915 miles on them.
Koni's have exactly 2,720 miles on them.

I keep a running log of everything I install/modify on the car and at what mileage so I can have information like this. I still have all the original boxes, but everything will be shipped in one box if shipping is necessary unless you want to pay to ship all 4 boxes.
Included are:

(2) Koni Front Shocks w/top nuts and plastic washers (came with shocks)
(2) Koni Rear Struts w/ top nuts, collars and plastic washers (came with struts)
(2) Front Swift Springs
(2) Rear Swift Springs
(2) Rear upper mount portions with the hole drilled out to accomodate the larger Koni's (makes install faster/easier)
(2) Rear upper washers with the hole drilled out to accomodate the larger Koni's (makes installe faster/easier)
(3-4) Koni Adjustment ***** (only one pictured, but I have a few more in the boxes)

If these are purchased locally, I believe I still have the receipt so if you ever have a problem with the shocks down the road (they have a lifetime warranty) I will gladly stay in contact and assist with getting a replacement under warranty or help in some nature like that. I will gladly do this for any buyer, just probably a little more comlicated from across the country

New this setup was over $900 dollars and that's with me taking advantage of sales.

Asking $700 OBO plus all shipping (if necessary) and paypal fees.

Willing to Seperate: $250 for Springs, $450 for everything else!
