I am hoping someone has access or can please provide a kit for rebuilding the front Koni shocks on my S4. I would likely go for a few Special D for the rear too.
Mainly because the costs of shipping has exceeded the value, I would prefer to ship the seals.
New old stock, whatever!
Kind Regards

Find out where the limits are, and start from there

do they actually leak, or is it for preventive maintenance ? or do you want to change the oil somehow (e.g. for a different grade)...
I'd be potentially interested in a source for rebuilding these, though I suppose someone sufficiently motivated to open one up would be able to check dimensions... so far mine have been performing well, the only thing I got done on a spare used set about 6 years ago was to get them tested on a bench so that they are calibrated to the same level (awaiting installation), I got that done by a Bilstein shop who did not have any older red Konis parts anymore, so an oil change would have been expensive (possibly requiring refabrication of seals).

Only for historic, significant, Koni prowess.
The rears seem easy to do (Elantrikbits has a section- I wish Col would produce a book!) and probably only require oil refreshed.
The fronts are the ones I am concerned with, there is a place in Western Canada able/competent, but only Koni dealers are able to supply seals (they dont want them without access to parts). Years ago, there were a few more places who could acquire Koni parts. I was hoping someone knows someone who could help, again, as shipping is so dear these days and I am very remote.
I sure am not in any rush, though, I would like some new seals at least for the front, to have on the shelf here.

Still on the hunt, if you know someone in the business?
