Default Anyone ordered the Koni sport shocks from shox.com?

Just wondering if anyone's gotten them yet through www.shox.com ?

I know dwnshft was working on a group buy and all, but I know these are already available through this website. So anyone had any experiences with them?

Thanks in advance

Great prices and I wouldn't have any issues ordering through them.

I recommend them as well, I bought swaybars for the 300ZX, they were the best price and had fast delivery.

Dwnshift's price of $675.00 was very good.

Alright sounds good so far.

Sorry if this is one of those "duh" questions, but I figure better be safe than sorry - the Koni sport shocks they are selling on shox.com ARE in fact the same aftermarket shocks that most people are talking about when they say "they've been waiting for the koni's to come out?" right?

As in, these are the aftermarket shocks needed in case you want to just upgrade OEM shocks , or have your car lowered and need upgraded shocks, right?

Thanks!

I think you'll find they are not really available yet as Downshift is supposed to get the first batch. Downshift also did some work with Koni on the final bump/rebound settings. He will probably know more about how they work and with which springs better than any other vendors as they race the car.

Never ask a vendor about what works best, alway's call the manufacturer. Every time I call Gordon at Koni he's always been able to tell me up to what poundage said Koni's were able to handle. Can't imagine that anyone market's a spring to stiff for the Koni's. Can't wait for someone to bring out a linear spring to work with the new shock's coming to market.

Got this from Gordon at Koni today:

Mark,

FYI, the rear shocks have been here for a couple of weeks and the first
shipments of the fronts will be here in a couple of weeks. They're on a
boat as I type this. Thanks for writing.

Gordon
