Default Best source for Koni shocks for an 82?

What is the best (meaning cheapest) source for a pair of front standard Koni shocks for an 82 S?

Your '82 S should have come stock with bilstiens on it. Unlike the boges, they should be rebuildable. This would be your best move for the $ and perhaps your best move period.

Only if option M474 sport shocks were selected or shocks were changed later.

Thanks for all the info. I will check with Roger. The car has Koni's on the front now, a PO must have put them on.
