I was quoted sowhere around $245 a corner for Koni shocks up here.

I ended up getting a set of KYB Gas-A-Just shocks on the advice from MadMatt the Mini Man. I got Tony at MiniSport in SA to get them in from Mini Spares in the UK.

They look to be a very good shock and are self adjusting. They were around $300 for the full set from memory.

Get onto Proven Products in Albury. They were the Koni australian distributors for Koni when they were in Merrylands and I suppose they still are.

Who owns what factory? Dunno how you are going to get coilovers into the rear housings. Some standard shocks are to big in diameter.

OT but you just reminded me about how usually websites don't reply.. Except the other day I was searching for the specs sheet for my VDO sub - it's discontinued stock, so I couldn't get it anywhere... I decided to email them from their site, but wasn't actually expecting a reply..anyway the next day they replied with all the info and docs i needed.. was very impressed.

But yeh normally you have to ring em..
