Question Where can I find the best price for Koni Yellows

I've finally got enough saved up to do a suspension upgrade on my 87 944S, and I'm trying to find the best deal possible on Koni Yellows. So far, the best deal I've found is at Tire Rack; they have the front strut inserts at $163 and the rear shocks at $124. Does anyone here know of a better deal than that?

Also, anyone have a set of Weltmeister 250 lb. front springs that they aren't using and wouldn't mind parting with for a reasonable price?

Thanks in advance for any assistance with this!

I would recommend Paragon. You spend a little more than the cheapest possible on the internet but they know our suspensions well and their support is well worth the extra $10 or so. Besides, they are site sponsors and I'm a fan of keeping the business close to what makes this site possible.

They have the rears at $122 and the front inserts at $161.

They will even do the work on your strut if you can have the car up for a couple of weeks.

Paragon has them for $162 front and $123 rear which is as cheap as you'll get. Also Paragon has first rate service and they are very familiar with the 944 series so they'll be able to steer you in the right direction. You also might want to think about going with their coilover conversion kit as well.

I agree, Paragon Products are a great company. Helped in the past with a number of parts.

I didn't think you could form a sentence with the words koni, porsche, and 944 without paragon.

I bought mine at paragon after spending waaaay too much time searching for the best price. I think if i bought two from summit and two from shox i would have saved a total of $8 over Paragon's price.

When I ordered them Jason took the order. I mentioned the $8 to him and he offered to match it. I told him NO unless he thought the advice he gave me was worth less than $8.

The advice i got from Chuck and Jason over the years for the $8 may be an even better deal than the $18 rennlist membership fee.

Bottom line, Tire Rack is great for tire advice, Paragon is great for Porsche advice. Shut them out by saving a few bucks, and when you need them for Porsche advice like you need a local hardware store you may find you have to rely on the Porsche equivalent of Home Depot for advice.
