i know konis are the best. But dont have the funds to dish out $600+. Is there an alternative brand thats out there, thats reasonable in price and is pretty dependable?

Pickin's are slim to none other than konis right now. There are a couple companies with fully adjustable struts, but if you re complaining about the cost of the konis, then the strust woill definitly be too much.

does anyone know where i can get a GOOD deal on konis?? This may be a dumb question, but i would need 2 struts and 2 shocks for the front and 2 struts and 2 shocks for rear. Correct?

The best I ve seen them is from one of our vendors on the board here, and it was still about 600 for all 4 corners, then, if you want shocks, you re looking at between another 150-250 depending on brand.

ive looked everywhere. Theres no other shocks or struts out there!!! This sucks!! So if anyone ever needs to replace their struts or shocks the only option is the KONIS?? Doesnt make sense at all!!! I was hoping MONROE carried them, and they do BUT SS models are an exception!!!
