Reply to "Koni Shock rebuild or replacement"

I had the four Koni shocks rebuilt on my 71 after the car sat in storage for 15 years. Koni charged me $100 each to rebuild the shocks. As I recall, it took about 4 weeks to go through the shipping,rebuild and return. They need to be sent to Kentucky. The shocks cam back like new repainted etc. Bare in mind that these shocks are late 1970s technology. These shocks have a part inside that will fail and cause the shock not to work at all so that it becomes like a solid bar! The rebuild that Koni did eliminates this failure mode. Dennis at PPC told that you can improve the ride of the car by upgrading to the gas pressurized shocks but I didn't want to spend the $1000 to $1200 for shocks plus another $1000 for springs etc. It seems like it never ends.
