G6ET MKII Member 29 Member For: 11y 6m 7d 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?

The second price sounds about right for springs, shocks, fitted and aligned.

Im guessing they could be red. I just find price abit steep, are konis a beter shock than bilstein ?
