I have a set of rear Koni 8242 with 80 lb springs that I'm considering selling. I bought these a few years ago and finally go around to installing them this past year, but with the low profile wheels and rough WV roads, I've decided to go to a little softer set-up. These are in good shape, with just a little surface rust on the threads. I was just wondering what a fair price would be on this set (I can't seem to find what I paid for these and have no idea.)

These are adjustable Cup shocks? Do they bolt up to the stock shock mounts? If so, I'd be interested in them price dependent.

From what I could find from searching, I think these were similar to the Escort Cup shocks. Since these only have 80 lb springs, I used the stock bolt and didn't have any issues.

If the ride was a bit rough...why not remove the helper springs?

What inside diameter are the springs? Are they a standard size such as 1-7/8" or 2"?

I believe the inside diameter is 2.25. I honestly don't know how to remove the springs from these, so I may be better off selling these and getting a normal Bilstein or Koni set of shocks.

Probably a stupid question, but with 2.25 ID springs you didnt experience any issues with the springs rubbing the trailing arms? I assume the hydraulics are in good shape and dont need a rebuild? What would you want for the set shipped to 78666?

Line jumper? I'm not sure what you mean by that...I just asked how much they would be shipped to me. i'm not trying to climb over you to get them if that is what you were implying. I may not even want them, like I said price dependent. I was planning on going bilstien coilovers in the rear, but for a good price i'll take the koni.

There is a rub mark on the one collar, but I don't think it's anything major. 350$ shipped? Travis, I'll give you first dibs.
