OK I've just got some new Koni rears cheap, now where can I buy some new Koni fronts, cheap. Either Standard or Sport..... :roll:

Do Mini Sport in Adelaide carry them, and do they have a website...??

Ok Tony replied, they don't keep them now but can get `em shipped in.
I just need to decide whether they are worth $24 each more than Spax are....

I had a bad experience with Spax years ago on my Fiat 124S- got 2 for front and they were way different performance to each other, and adjustment didn't fix. Distributor was no help to me then either.

OTOH I then fitted Konis all round, and found they just about last forever.

Does it handle or ride any better?

<edit> I'll just see if there's any Konis in Sydney, before I look at importing them thru Tony. :wink:

Mine cost $486 for the set of 4 (van) Koni yellow adjustable Sports from

WILKINSON SUSPENSION CENTRE
81 Beechboro Rd Bayswater 6053
Telephone 08 9370 2646
Fax 08 9370 2196

I dont know their Email if they have one, but Im sure they'd ship em east if you ask nicely. They get them from the east, sounds silly to ship em back again....
