Feeler: Perfect Spring/Shock Combo (Koni Yellow Adjustable & HR Spring) <10K Miles

$500 + Peanuts (negotiable install?)

I will be moving onto a stiffer coilover setup within the next 2-3 weeks - I'm wondering if anyone LOCAL TO SGV/LA would like what I've found to be the perfect combination of spring and shock available to the 203 (in ride height and feel for the daily drive).

PLEASE remember, that this is a fully dampening-adjustable suspension and I've had very little use out of them (<10K and have never been to the track). Frank and I (yep Frank, I volunteered you into this) will also be installing this for the person who's local if interested...for probably peanuts, we'll see.

The drop? Pictures:

Let me know.

I'm interested and local. What's the difference between Koni shocks and Koni coilovers?

Note: This set is NON ride-height adjustable. Usually people buy shocks and springs separate, but I bought these together brand new. A coilover suspension is a complete setup, spring and shock combo, and most are ride-dampen/height adjustable.

Does Koni make coilovers? Maybe private label on the shock part...

I don't think these are coilovers, they are just a combo of shocks and springs..

H&R part number is 52792, but I can't seem to find any spring rates, at least not on the H&R site.

Koni front number should be: 8741-1412SPORT
Koni rear number should be: 26-1679SPORT
