G6ET MKII Member 29 Member For: 10y 10m 19d Gender: Male Posted 01/11/13 06:29 AM Share Posted 01/11/13 06:29 AM I was quoted $2380.00 for progressive rate kings and koni shocks from one place and $1750.00 for same springs with bilstein shocks from another place. Now im not sure whether the first place is just way to expensive on there labor or the konis are a dearer shock because there better. Does anyone know if konis are better than bilstein or for that sort of money should I get coilovers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second price sounds about right for springs, shocks, fitted and aligned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im guessing they could be red. I just find price abit steep, are konis a beter shock than bilstein ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
