Hello forum.

Could somebody please provide some part numbers for the Koni Classic Adjustable Shocks and also make some recommendations as to where to purchase them?  I think these are the 80-1415 (front) and 80-1416 (rear) but when I do a search I see different shocks with slightly different part numbers (and colors).

Thanks
Drew

Hello Drew
I would take the original MB Bilstein shock absorber for the pagoda.
A friend removed the koni after some time.

Hi Peter.

Yes, I have seen that site as well. They seem to be using custom tuned Bilsteins for their suspension kits.  I had read that there are many forum members who really prefer the Koni classic adjustable shocks.

Thanks for your reply.

Here you can find them.
If you know the original numbers, you can compare them.
