They supply both Bilsteins and Konis and I believe are pretty good on price.

The price for the coils and fitting seem a bit excessive for such a simple job.

HI,
Just an option, I have a D1 with Koni dampers and a Bilstein steering damper. After 120,000+ kms only problem was a leaking rear damper, replaced out of warranty (the installer replaced the damper and labor for free, even though it was two years old !)

I have seen the Koni advertised for around the mid $300 a pair.

In short they should fit and be ok. The pricing is about what I would expect in Australia. They are about 1/2 that out of the US and this is the way I went as I could not justify spending more than double to get them in Australia. Not good economics even though I would much rather buy in Australia.

Hi Cucinadio,
The only lift on mine is about an inch in front springs to offset the steel bullbar.
There may be a set of Koni for standard and a set for two inch lift, but I think its the same set I have.

Try this link. I didn;t buy from this guy and can't verify if they are a kosher dealer, but my standard Koni are pretty damn good.

The price must have gone up a fair bit since I purchased mine !

I bought mine from this seller (before he had to put the price up to RRP...)

Very good seller, quick good communication, nice to deal with

I bought coil spacers after the shocks and I'm considering buying a RTC damper from him too

Trustworthy dude I reckon

Price hasn't gone up that much, we bought four sets from Wholesale Suspensions mid last year at quite a lot less than that and they even deliver direct to your door. So even though they are a long way from Brisbane, it could be worth a phone call.
