Default Tokico or Koni unicorns....

Has anyone had any luck within the last few weeks finding or buying Tokico D-Spec kits or Koni Yellows? I have contacted about 8-10 vendors including IPP and have heard the same story. "Distributor is out with now ETA". I know this is not the fault of the vendors in any way, but after a lot of research, these are the two set-ups that I really want to replace my aging coils.

If anyone has purchased either of these recently, could you please let me know from where so I can give them a call. I appreciate it in advance.

Did you try tire rack? or Z1 motorsports for the D-Specs? Your next best option could be amazon or ebay.

These are in Canada, Idk how long u can wait for em.

I was in the market to purchase the D-Specs or Yellows as well near the end of April beginning of May and they kept telling me the same thing. They were sold out without an ETA. Tire rack only has the fronts available last time I checked tho. GL

That's crazy, I ran into the same situation. If you're looking to maximize cost saving, you may want to look into buying the fronts and rears separately from whichever vendor has them in stock. Also, did you you try Genome Tuning?

Z1 and TireRack both will take the order but are giving a default ETA of 60 days due to "product availability". TireRack has only one Koni front in stock as of this morning

Yes they are and at a great price as well.... Only issue is that they come from the Amazon Store and they are quoting 1-2 months due to their supplier being out of stock.



I appreciate the feedback and responses guys. There was a set of Koni for sale here yesterday at a ridiculous price but my PM was beat out by 1 person ahead of me of well...

If I come across anything promising, I will post up on this thread so those of you in my boat can have a heads up. Thx!
