Koni Raids - Help to Confirm Correct Parts

[dancol]

Hi Guys,

I have been sourcing Koni Raids to install into my Defender 110 Puma and have found these on Paddocks

Heavy Track Raid - Rear 0-40mm - Paddock Spares (https://au.paddockspares.com/90-5375-heavy-track-raid-rear-0-40mm.html)
Heavy Track Raid - Front 0-50mm - Paddock Spares (https://au.paddockspares.com/90-5374-heavy-track-raid-front-0-50mm.html)

They seem so much cheaper than other websites so I just wanted to ask if I'm missing something or if these are in fact the correct koni raids to purchase?

Also has anyone ordered shocks from them before and have an idea on how long they take to arrive or has anyone had problems with them clearing customs? I'm heading away on a trip and would need the shocks to arrive before March

Thanks

Dan

I think they sell them individually rather than in a pair.. atleast that was what I remember when I ordered mine.

They look like they could be correct part numbers though, just depends on if you want the 0-50mm lift or the next one up.

DanYep. Thats the same part numbers as the Koni raid 90s I ordered from a company in Melbourne (who's name escapes me for the moment), for my Td5 110 with standard ride height springs. They cost me about $1100 for a full set delivered though.

Thanks guys. You're right after a little more searching I've found some parts in Australia close to UK prices.


However after some more searching I'm even more confused. All the websites list this part number (90-5375) as being suitable only up to 1998 year defenders.


What year is your TD5? Has anyone fitted these to a Puma?


I've only found 1 site that listed a Koni Raid for a Defender 2007+ Puma but the part number was 90 5401


Thanks

DanMy Td5 is a 2006 model.

My Td5 is a 2006 model.This is the company I bought them from.
They should be able to atleast advise you on what shocks you need.
Where ever you buy yours from ask them if they will set them to them to firmness for you you want before sending. Apparently you could do some damage to the shock when setting the firmness if you are not careful.
Mine were at the standard setting, which is what I wanted to start with.

land rover shock specifications (http://www.red90.ca/rovers/shockinfo.html)

The difference is length between the two. The numbers here are directly form Koni tech support.

I have Koni Raids on my 2014 Puma Defender. Standard length 0-40mm.

Same as above: 90-5375SP1

AFAIK Top Performance are Australian distributors

I’m very happy with them. They are super heavy duty. Only comment is that even at standard setting they are very firm on the rear of an unladen 110. If you don’t carry loads regularly you may prefer the ride of Bilsteins.

a picture of that exact shock next to the TJM one that came off my 2.2 puma.

The picture doesnt quite do the scale correctly, but the Koni is a much larger shock than the TJM one, and about twice the weight.

Hey Dan,

im looking to buy some of these, where did you source yours from?

Digging up an old thread here, but how did you go with these? Also a bit confused about whether these will fit onto a Puma 130...

[Tote]

I'm happy with the ones on my 130 except the rears do not have enough rebound control for a 130 My parts details are in a post here What did you do on your Defender today ? (well, this week anyway) (https://www.aulro.com/afvb/90-110-130-defender-county/258209-what-did-you-do-your-defender-today-well-week-anyway-17.html)
When I'm enthusiastic I'll pull the back ones off and tighten up the adjustment and see how it goes. I'd rate them on a par with the factory ones which are actually pretty good but after 100,000Km were well past their prime.

Regards,
Tote

That's interesting Tote...I'd sleep with my raids if I could...

My 1998 130 weighs in at 3t in normal driving mode and a little heavier in touring mode. The ride is exceptional. Trouble it is deceptively too nice and I have been caught out driving on rough dirt at excessive speed and not letting tyres down...was lazy with the koni raid's soaking up the bumps, but blew a rear tyre because of it.

pull the raids out and adjust the rebound

I am assuming that the top and bottom mounts are the same on the puma rear axle - ie eye at the top and pin at the bottom?

[Captain_Rightfoot]

Thread dredge but I'm up for a set. Just ordered today. I sure hope they are ok as not cheap.

Sounds as though there are four rebound settings.

I've had two sets of the cheap bilsteins now. They only seem to last a few years and don't stand up to hard use.

[Captain_Rightfoot]

Well the review on the raids.. have transformed the ride of the car. worth the money. At the end of a hard day in the desert can still put your hands on them.

[tc_s1]

Have had the Koni HD Raids for six years now, and cannot yet complain. They are rock solid, improved the ride greatly and stand up to everything we've thrown them in our 87 110 camper so far, on road, off, hardpack, mild rock crawling. They come at a dear price, but I'm a believer.

I'm back from a double simpson crossing. The ride transformation was amazing and no more uncontrolled pitching in the desert!
