OK so went down to this suspension place that I've been trading emails with for a while now - regarding getting some Koni's on my Futura....
Long story short, I got two quotes out of it... $560 for Koni Reds front / Koni Yellows rear (they don't have any rear reds in stock at the moment) $700 for Koni Yellows all round Both quotes are for cash (not an issue) - also been quoted $280 for fitting shocks & springs (I'm going to get those Eibach Pro-Kit ones direct from manufacturer for $265 delivered - have been told by the suspension guy that this is cheaper than cost price for retailers!!) Should I spend the extra $140 for yellows all around, or should I just stick with the reds in the front? Is it worth it, considering the car is a daily driver, will most likely never see the track, only a bit of spirited driving here and there....on the flip side, it's only $140, and they're Koni Yellows!!! He said that in terms of lifespan, both will last around the 150,000km+ mark before needing to be rebuilt - both reds and yellows are fully rebuildable. They come with a lifetime warranty for me as long as I have the car - if the car is sold, the warranty is not transferred. The reds (and yellows in the rear) need to be removed from the vehicle to be adjusted for firmness; the front yellows can be adjusted by simply lifting the bonnet and rotating the knob on the top of the shock. Your thoughts???
