Some scuffs from installing, uninstalling, and re-installing will not affect the "new" pricing, as long as they are functional and can be made into CSK's for the front on my dime.

That way you do not take any further hit if you decide to sell the inserts.

I can't think of much else to help. But that offer stands.


If I decide to NOT go about fixing the rears and just selling the inserts, you will be the first to know. I appreciate the offer Shawn, truly. I looked on OEM's site, they cost $339/pair for those Koni inserts, Koni has them retailing at $420/pair, and has an online price now for them at $315/pair. Why not send me a PM and we can figure out details man.

B13 red REAR insert:

max rebound: 1000 newton meters @ 13" per second
compression: 300 newton meters @ 13" per second

B15 yellow FRONT insert:
min rebound: 1050 newton meters @ 13" per second
max rebound 2100 newton meters @ 13" per second
compression: 450 newton meters @ 13" per second

he recommended that we try the B15 yellows in the rear at full soft and see if we like it before attempting a revalve job - which will cost approx $250 per strut.

So if you work with Obewan, I'm sure he can source you a new set of rear housings and make your spacer. He seems to be our new Steve Foltz


And yeah, I'm thinking on a softer setting, since this is a daily driver anyway. They say to start on a softer setting and move up slowly until you reach the setting you like. If they can be salvaged, I'm game. If the work might be too much of a pain, I'm taking Shawn B up on his offer and he can make some nice fronts for himself. I might drop the fronts on mine and just keep the rears with the AGX/RM combo. I'll see what happens.

Did you take out a section at position 1, 2 or chop the top off like position 3?
Or did you do something else?
