1999 AMG C43
Yellow Koni

I'm trying to source some yellow konis for the C43. I know there are a ton of used places that might have these in stock for a fraction of the new cost. I don't mind if they are painted or need a rebuild. If anyone has a site they can share please let me know. I'd rather drop 200 than 500, set that extra cash for bushings. Already ordered the vogtland springs new.

Great choice in springs as you will be very pleased with the Vogtlands. I have them paired with the Koni yellow's and the softest setting is far softer than the stock setup. Halfway is a perfect setting for everyday use in my opinion. Depending on what the insurance company decides, I may have many parts for sale. That will also depend on whether I decide to purchase another local C43 with a mere 80K kms. It will take some time to adjust to the tuxedo interior as I am used to the full black.

At least you've found something comparable. Hopefully, they won't total out your ride. Thanks for the setting info.

My ride is pretty stiff right now and I'm just on stock. I am really interested to see what it will handle like on stiff. Do you do you're own wheel alignments? I've never done one, but a few videos make it seem easy. Do it yourself. Also the laser kits are available on ebay for between $150 to $500. Would pay for itself in no time at those price.

You can try the kit from these people. Simple and easy.

I'm sorry for the really stupid question I'm about to ask, but I've found the Koni Yellow shocks for a really good price, and I was wondering, does the box come with two shocks? Or do I have to order a quantity of two? because $136 for a pair of shocks sounds pretty cheap.

Most sites sell them individually. Don't forget there are two different part numbers for fronts and rears. I sourced them new for just a little less than you, $525 no shipping or tax. I don't have the site here on my phone but I'll post when I get home. The only sure way is to call the seller, but if I was a betting man, I'd guess that price is each.
