Quick Koni rebuild question

The appropriate thing to do would obviously be call Koni.

When I finally got through, I talked with a cat named Grimes, I believe.

He quoted me 3 months and quoted me $150ea for DAs. Of course I needed new shafts ... at $150, I certain got my shaft ...

Talk to the guys up there. They quoted me $135 each and a $10 seal kit, but that was a while ago. I'd see what they charge these days, could have gone down.

Good luck!

Just out of curiosity, you are calling the # they show at www.koni-na.com, right?

I called and talked to them for a few minutes the other day to order a new shock tool and got right through. I also asked them if they could convert my SA's to DA's, they told me $300 a shock! They did mention that they could do any custom valving or machine work while they are in there though and it would be included in the price.

Here's another dumb question, how did you know that you needed to rebuild your koni's?
How often do koni's need to be rebuilt???
I just bought the koni DA's, they are being shipped, did I just make an error in judgement?

No error in judgement. You bought some of the best shocks available (and yes, I do have DA's on my car, daily driven). Install them and enjoy them, they are great shocks.
