There are few sets still for sale.. Not too high start price.

I shouted (well actually my friend shouted for me as I don't have a credit card yet

) one set for my self yesterday, let's hope everything works out right. (Transfer, payments and of course that I get what I ordered..

Well at least the seller has a positive feedback of 99.1% and it seems to be some kind of shop so it should be fine..) Got hint for this from V3C. Those are on a German Ebay site but those article numbers can be found from ebay.co.uk and ebay.com also. It says on the ebay site that shipping is only to Germany, but I sent email to them before making a bid and they said that they can forward the shipment to other countries too. For Finland shipping costs were 24 euros, not too expensive.

Woohoo. My shocks arrived today.. Though I can't take any pics yet as I'm not at home and shocks are there. Yesterday I drove ~500km trip to our summerohouse and I'll be here two weeks. No problems with the car during the trip.

I've got a set at home too, but i don't know if i'm going to fit them. So they might be up for sale soon.

Why wouldn't you? I'm working on a fitting manual atm, should be ready next tuesday.

Give me a shout if they do go up for sale, assuming they're fronts.

cheers

Yep, they're fronts:

I'll let you know, but i will put them up for sale @ V3C too.

It's because i'm going to college out of town next year. I'll move out my parents house. So there won't be enough money to keep the GLT running, at least for a year or something. I really want to keep the car, but don;t know if there will be any time and money to install the koni's, and other stuff i'm planning.

Well let me know. I'm not interested in getting into a bidding war with people on V3C, but you have a sale here provided the price is sensible.

cheers

What's the point with Koni's, when its not adjustable koni's? The yellow ones..

Reds are also adjustable, yellow ones are just stiffer, but red ones are also much stiffer than basic Sachs, Gabriel, Kyb etc... shocks.

I have Koni's at the front and the back.
With the red ones the rebound is adjustable.
I have the front and back shocks on the stiffest setting and the difference is amazing!

when you push the car, many times after each other, does it "sway" much?

Can i get new koni's?

)
