Default Koni height and damper adjustable coilover for sale

After debating for a couple of days...
I have decided to part out my Koni adjustable coilover (height and damper) after putting on my car (S4) for a couple of days...
Ride is not firm enough for me...
It is compatible to A4s according to Koni's site and a couple of users are using them for their 1.8T A4s
I am asking for $1100US shipping included (parts no 1150-5019). Will post picture this weekend.
Nice day!

Default I only remember the last 4 digits, the 5018, 5019 which is the spring number difference.

I got mine (1st users of the Koni) in July of '99 for $875 from Shox.com I think with shipping only added around $50 or less. I have te 5019. Since then I have seen prices fluctuating from high $700's to mid $900's.

$1500 can get you a custom valve dual adj Koni and matching linear rate Eibach springs from oops, can't reveal

IC... then tire rack must be selling @ a huge premium then...
They claim there's one app for my car and that's the no. and 1500 shipped is what they quoted...

Default Possibly misquoted

They also carry H&R Ultra coilovers, which run around the price you mention, $1500.

That's equally bad... I believe that H&R should be similar priced to the Konis... you may ask Audiboy for more info... Are they really overpriced? Or is there so much mispricing on the market in general?

Default H&R's always cost a bit more than the Koni's even back in '99 when I was looking. At least over 20%

more. They have different levels of springs upgrades (struts are similar over a wide range). However, I have seen a bit too many busted H&R's cartridges - and I hope people who have them check to see if theirs are ok - because most people don't know how it feels like. Check for lots of oil around the shock area. Konis on the other hand, the only one that broke after about 8 sets I've seen or installed was a bad adjuster on the rear shock preventing the rebound to be adjusted. Replaced by Koni NA (North America) free anyway - Koni NA is very helpful.
