Default ISO Koni FSDs or Bilstein HDs

This is for my recent 83k mile C2 with original suspension. I ordered springs from Sunset and a new set of Koni FSDs on ebay for $1,000 shipped and was told they are backordered for 2 months. Anyone here have a set lying around that they bought in the recent sale that they won't need, or a newish set of HDs that they'd like to upgrade or get rid of? Open to suggestions.

You were late. I ordered the Konis from Paragon for $894 delivered in mid May, as Koni had a sale thru the end of 5/31. This exhausted US stock. Lead time mid-May was 6 weeks, so it prolly got worse from ther due to demand.

I ordered MO33 springs from Sunset the same time and those were backordered as well, but I got an email today that mine are in and shipped to me.

Oh, if I'd only bought my car a month earlier. I believe ordered among the last of the M030 stock at Sunset at a significantly lower price that the quote on the newer production M033s.

I wanted the ROW height and the stock spring rate, hence my choice of 33's. I think they came in just over $300.

So many choices, but I didn't want Bilstein HD's. I've got a very stiff ride in the 911, if I want "harder core"
