I hope I can get mine done for that much (assuming $260 for the pair, not each?), I have to send some in for rebuild and revalving in the near future. Did you not have your struts blasted and repainted?

This was the quote I got from Phil Harris @ TrueChoice about 6 months ago.

Quote:

The strut rebuild cost is $155.00 each plus parts and the 3012 shocks are $125.00 each plus parts. The parts usually run $30.00 to $40.00 per unit. The struts will be blasted and repainted. We can fit new bump rubbers. They are $28.00 approx each.

Thank You,

Phil

That TrueChoice quote matches the pricing of ProPart, which is another authorized service dealer (M030 Struts are koni type 8741, double adjustable conversions are type 8742):

Those were a set of M030 struts that had been rebuilt double adjustable (compression adjustment was added - the **** on the bottom) and had Turbo Cup springs installed.

Not necessarily...

I think it sounds as if he got a pretty killer deal... doesn't mean that they'll always be that price from that point forward.

I think I got a fair deal. I still spent another $400 getting the fronts rebuilt so all in I was at ~$800 for konis all around. Which is about what you'd spend if you bought new inserts and new rears.

Aaron, did the koni yellow fronts in your package have the coilovers with adjustable ride height? Or were they plain (yellow) strut housings?

Sorry Lart, just doing a little market research

I am interested, PM sent
