Hi All,

The Koni Yellow rear shocks on my '88 Turbo S are VERY tired and my question is simple: rebuild or replace? What have your experiences been with rebuilding vs. replacing? Any places you can recommend in Southern California for rebuilding? I'd rather rebuild the shocks if doing so is equal in quality to replacing them and is cost effective. I've searched the archives and the web and haven't gotten any great info as to cost, timelines, etc..

Thanks in advance for the information!

Its kind of hard to beat Paragon's price for replacing them, in my opinion. The cost difference in rebuilding them vs buying new from Paragon is minimal.

Thats a good question. Both my front and rear konis are pretty worn and I would like to also know what you guys have to say.

Rears are so cheap that replacement costs about the same and saves you time. Front, if you have the NLA full struts, I'd have rebuilt/revalved. However, cost is still similar to just chopping them and putting in new inserts. For rebuild/revalve, I recommend TrueChoice.
