Anyone notice the Konis @ zcsrdepot.com?

[Matthew Abate]

I was looking around for info on Koni shocks and found that Zcar Depot has front and rear sets for $389.00 a pair. Then I started digging around in here to find out what they feel like on the street and noticed that no one has mentioned this particular model number. I can't find it anywhere on the internet except for this site: https://zcardepot.com/suspension/shocks/koni-shocks-strut-adjustable-front-new-240z-260z.html?search=Koni

Do they have a typo in the model number? Is this a new item? Am I missing something fundamental about how to shop for these?

Koni's and Mulholland were the big struts to have in the 70's,  Koni's were so stiff I think you could feel cigarette butts in the street, Muholland's were a tad softer. combined with a set of Mulholland springs, you could turn on a dime and get change.

 

That being said, I don't know anything about them today but I did find their Web Site  http://www.koni.com/us-na-redirect/ 

 

I went with the standard KYB's for my suspension. My butt is not as tough as when I was younger……..

Put Koni adjustables on back in 94, set them to stiff for AutoX, still very stiff. I do have a set that you can adjust while in the car, not having to remove them to readjust.

Sure, but what's the deal with these specific shocks? I've seen two models of Koni shocks discussed on this forum, one for racing only and one for street use that is super harsh, but neither of those are the one on this site. Also, this is the only place that has this particular model.

I think he's using his own part numbers like MSA does.

 

Looking at the pictures he has on ebay, they're 86-1812s or 86-1811s, rear and fronts.

 

Here's a nice long thread on different struts
