Item Condition: Used

A like-new full set of Koni Yellow shocks and struts (model 8741-1136 Sport front, 8040-1035 Sport rear). These are the single adjustable (for rebound) shocks and struts that are similar to the m474 option. The 8741-1136 are the complete strut housing type. They were replaced by 8641-1038 inserts for non-sealed OE & 8641-1414 inserts for sealed OE units.

Fits all 1987 to 1991 model 944's (including S & S2), all 944 Turbos and 1992 - 1996 model 968. (except w/ optional M030 suspensions)

The front units come with Weltmeister 250-SP sport springs and the rear includes a set of Sway-A-Way PowerBarz 30mm torsion bars. Using this setup, the car won the 2004 SCCA Az Region ITE class season title. They've been gathering dust for several years now and need a good home that will make use of them.

These were taken off of my 1988 951 race car when I converted to Bilstein Escort Cup coilovers. They were on the car when I bought it. They appear to have 9503 to 9509 date codes so they have maybe 6 years of low mileage use. The car has less than 45k total mileage on it now.

This is a very good, economical suspension upgrade over stock without spending all the money for a new set of Koni's or Bilsteins. It's perfect for street, DE and entry level racing.

The cost for the items new is somewhere north of $1500. These units have been externally refurbished and include new front bump stops and dust boots. They look brand new. I'm asking $750 for everything (or reasonable offer).

KONIs are not the average shock absorber, they feature a number of standards that make them unique:

• ADJUSTABLE - KONIs are adjustable, which means that you can influence the behavior of the car to meet your preferences (ride comfort, handling balance, etc.). It also means that wear can be compensated. (However, you will probably never need it.)
  
• TAILORMADE - They are designed for a specific car or even special driving conditions. A KONI is not a simple copy of the original but a tailor made design to get the best handling and ride characteristics from the vehicle.
  
• IMPROVEMENT - KONIs improve the ride and handling of your car. The damping characteristics are developed for each particular application. Our specialists keep on testing and modifying until they are convinced they reached the optimum in both handling and comfort.
  
• SAFETY - Do not forget that safety is a major issue. The handling of your car is essential for safe driving. Here the qualities of the KONI shock absorber make a great contribution.
  
• INVOLVEMENT - Involved drivers have their wishes, and KONI fulfills them in most cases. Why .... ?? The KONI people are involved drivers themselves, so they know.
  
• BUILT FOR A LIFETIME - Last but not least, KONIs are built to last a lifetime. Once you have bought a set of KONl's for your car, they usually will outlive it. KONI street shocks carry a lifetime warranty to the original purchaser for as long as you own the vehicle.

Weltmeister Ad Copy:
"These Weltmeister kits not only eliminate the "high boy" look, but they also increase the spring rate of your car to provide exceptional handling without significantly sacrificing ride quality. Perfect for street and competition events. Spring sets will lower the car approximately 1.25" from stock ride height. These springs fit all 924, 924 Turbo, 944 83-89, 944S and 944 Turbo (non S). They will also fit 944S2 and 968 that have been converted to 944 Turbo front struts. They will not fit 944 Turbo S, 944S2 and the 968 if equipped with the stock front strut".

Info on fitment from Jason @ Paragon Products:
85.5 on NA These cars use a different rear unit which is standard adjustable and are available in both standard red or sport yellow (8040 1035 or 8040 1035 Sport). The fronts struts on these cars can be either rebuildable or non rebuildable. If they are rebuildable you will use the 8641 1038 Red or Sport insert. If they are non rebuildable, you will use the 8741 1136 L&R Sport strut. These are externally adjustable for rebound and have a fixed lower perch. These units can be converted to double adjustable (rebound and compression). Our experience has been that all 944 Turbo's (non S) and all the 944S models have non rebuildable front struts.
