Default FS: 89 Turbo S M030 konis

How much a set of turbo S m030 konis with one strut needing re valving would cost?

Wouldn't you re-valve both at the same time?

(Honest question... I would have thought so, that's all)

Yes, so how much are they worth before revalving? and how much after?

I dunno... but they preeeety!

I'm waiting for my rears to get back from rebuild by Koni/Truechoice racing...

Rebuilds aren't that much, if the shocks are good... And I'm certainly happy with my M030 fronts.

Would you say $ 400.00 plus shipping is a fair price?

I paid $400 for a set of M030 front struts (both needed rebuilt) and nearly-new koni adjustable rears about 3 years ago. I don't imagine that the cost of used parts has gone up. I'd say $400 OBO could be a good deal for both seller and buyer.

Bilstein rebuild service is much cheaper than Koni. Current Koni/ITT, Truechoice, Proparts USA, or any authorized Koni service center pricing to rebuild an 8741 type single adjustable strut (which is the koni type # for the 951 M030 struts) is $155 + parts (seals and gaskets) and shipping per strut. So around $200 total turn around.

Nope - koni rebuilds koni shocks, bilstein rebuilds bilstein. I gave pricing for rebuilding koni. You will have to ask Steve why he commented on the cost of having bilsteins rebuilt in a koni for sale thread...

I had my 89 Ts Mo3o struts rebuilt by TrueChoice about 3 months ago.
Cost was about $260 including shipping.
Struts were revalved and modified to be double adjustable about 5 years ago.
