Default Koni Sport Yellows...?

I'm looking for a set of Koni Sport Yellows and am having a curiously difficult time finding a place willing to sell them to me at a good price. I already have springs (Hotchkis) and just want to buy the shocks. I have found plenty of references to good prices, reviews, install guides, etc...but can't find any "add to cart" buttons. Is this just me? Can anyone lend me a hand?

Thanks in advance...

That's fairly high pricing...there have been people offering them for sale on these forums previously for less than $600 before shipping at one point. On top of that, they won't even ship them for a week...probably don't even stock them.

I appreciate the help though

If you like them and they were worth $1000 dollars, then there's no shame in paying that much for them. I think that is actually closer to MSRP.

So do you like them?

coilover is not necessarily the best solution for every application...

Some of my friends have had them in the past. They are top quality and adjustable, which is important to me because I go on road trips and it's nice to be able to tone things down a bit.

The quality is their. But for what your looking for you may benefit more from a shock like the Tokicio D-spec which has compression dampning adjustablity that 350Z Koni sports do not have. Both shocks will adjust rebound, but only the D-specs will do both.
