Hey everybody





I've got an opportunity to grab a sweet deal on some X3 suspension; for $200 I can pick up these koni shocks and king springs:







Yay! However: My X3 was built in '95, and these struts came out of a '99 car. I know that the rear springs are different between the two cars, but would changing the entire spring/strut combo negate that problem?





Additionally, the one of the front struts needs to be replaced/rebuilt because apparently, it clunks. Can anyone shed some light on the difficulty and cost of repairing koni shocks?



Thanks for reading. Not sure if want.

 

Bump for great justice

 

You have to rebuild a shock and replace springs . . . at a cost of what, total, compared to what, if you bought them new?

 

nope they are not gonna work 99 had different struts.. now sell them to me instead lol jk they should work dont see why not

 

Stocker, I called the local koni distributor and they said I may as well replace them for roughly the same cost as rebuilding them.



New king springs would be ~$300 for the set

New koni shocks would be ~$800-1000 for the set

Either way I'll need to buy spring compressors



So it is a good deal in that respect. I'm condsidering just purchasing these, then replacing the fronts with Excel-Gs or similar. I'd like something a little nicer than Excel-Gs, adjustability would be nice.



Cheers for the help lads!
