Koni FSD below $600

I'm looking for an online shop in the US to order Koni FSD for $600 or less - can anyone recommend?

I bought them from North American Motorsports for $547 in March. I just looked at their website and they are now $714. I won't add insult to injury and let you know how much I love them.

Most places are back ordered....the non-sale price at most places tend to be about $620-650.....so the sale price is good....their normal price is high...
Helix has them for $630....
Most places that had them on sale cheap were drop shippers...and they are out of stock for 2-3 months....

I know, I have them on my audi A6 and even on that car they made ride quality much better. Can't wait to try them on Mini.

FWIW ~ I got my FSDs from Atlantic British Ltd a few weeks ago and they had them in stock. They also price match (it never hurts to ask) and currently list the FSDs for $629. http://www.minicarparts.net/Parts/M3000FSD.cfm
I've ordered several MINI items from them over the years and have always had good results.
I also got front shock mounts at a good price from them too (there is a bearing in the front mounts so I thought I would replace them as well - I am at 93K / almost 7 years). Install should be soon. Good to hear positive comments about how well they perform.

Recieved mine from Way Motor Works for $575 which is still the current price. Had them in time for the install on the weekend.

Added some Fixed plates and stiffer bushings for that little extra. So sweet...

Tire rack would be close to that price right now. They have the 20% off sale rolling right now.

Curious, with all of the Koni line on sale for the Mini right now, why not go for the Koni Sport? Not to say anything is wrong with the FSD (there isn't) but the added adjustability of the Koni Yellow seems to be worth a little extra change imho

In fact, check these out! It is cheaper to buy these than the FSD and they couple well with lowering springs and are re-buildable by Koni!

For me this is why:
Damper Adjustment Procedure:
Front - Top adjustable at the turn of a ****
Rear - Must be removed from the vehicle

I'm too lazy to be diling things in.

The Koni FSD is supposedly a bit more advanced then Koni yellows. I hear the Koni sports suspension kit can be a bit harsh for daily street driving.

I can see the gripe with that, the rears are a PITA to adjust. Thought I would throw the option out there though! Either setup will be much better than OEM for sure.

What do you FSD owners think.............. did it improve the ride? Am looking for something with a more comfortable ride than the stock struts for my wife's 06 std coupe with 55K on the clock. Thanks.
