Koni shocks + Springs

[slatess1]

Hello chaps,

Recently upgraded my suspension to Nitrons and removed the Koni Dampers and springs from my S1 exige. Any idea how much i could sell the Koni's on for (approx 14k miles use and condition is very good, no leaks etc...)

Just to give an idea on price new (S1 exige uses motorsport koni dampers / springs i believe, prices confirmed by castle lotus & hanger 111)

£47 + vat each spring
£187 + vat each Rear Damper (green)
£230 + vat each Front Damper (yellow)
Total £1200 incl vat approx

I know you can pick up nitrons for near enough this price so im not expecting a massive offer for them, just wondered what you guys thought pls?

I'm assuming they are the LSS varity with adjustable ride height, in which respect I would suggest you'll get around £300 for them - maybe a little more.

The problem is at 40k whoever has bought them will probably need them replacing anyway as you can't refurb them so they are only useful for people needing to tide them over.

The other issue is that the better S2 bilstein is the logical upgrade for around £5/600 for most people, nevermind second hand prices for those.

Thanx mate, thats pretty much what i was thinkin but wanted to re-assure myself

A couple of hundred quid, max. Agree with all that Paul says. I'd just whack 'em on ebay and see what you can get. Anything's better than nothing or throwing them in the bin, right?

Yep, id rather they went to a good home and helped someone out even if it was short term

If thats the Lotus LSS yellow koni shocks with black eibach springs, adjustable ride height as used on the sport 160 ... I managed to get £350 for my second hand set on ebay. I was a little amaxed I have to say. My new coilovers only cost me that and they are a million percent better....
