    If you can open a can of SpaghettiOs and tighten a bolt, I think you have the technical know how to do these inserts. It sounds a little involved at first, but most people who have done it say its pretty easy to do!

    The install is actually not as bad as it seems. If you have the right tools, you'll be fine. Trust me, I did the install on Thurs. at my mechanics place. He had some nice tools, but still I did the cutting/gutting of the OE Struts, and that was the hardest part. Everything else bolts right up.I am not even that great of a DIYer, so trust me when I say the strut inserts are not THAT hard to install. Hope that helps, you should jump on this GB, this is a great price. I paid 510 with hookups!

    No! Don't convince me.... that was the one thing that was holding me back also. I'm close to jumping on this, but I shouldn't...

    JTGM3- I've added you to the list. I will probably try to get in touch with the rep. later this week (~Sep 30th) for all who are 'IN'. If all who are buying would please shoot me an email at MPowered3@gmail.com with your screen-name from here, I'd appreciate it. I'll let you know the number and Name of the place we will be ordering from. Not that its a secret, but the rep. asked that I not publish the business name on a public forum for reasons I'll explain in the email. If anyone has any questions about it, PM me. Hammancheese, are you definately out? Thanks - Matt

    Quick question... are these shocks covered by the same sort of lifetime warranty as the Bilsteins?

    All Koni shocks come with a lifetime warranty to the original purchaser.

    You can read the full warranty details here.

    Should still be able to get the deal in 2 weeks, I'll check it out.

    All right guys, I've tried several other vendors and nobody can touch this price. We still need two more guys, pimp this deal out so we can get it done!

    looks like we've got enough people. I'll be contacting all who emailed me within the next day. I'm trying a few more vendors, but it looks like $510 shipped is a rock bottom price.
    Here's some reading material:

    Koni's are the best shocks/struts to run with H&R springs. I just put in Koni's with my H&R Sports on my 95 M3 and couldn't be happier with the ride quality, the drop, and the handling. Hope that helps, get them while the GB is still going on!

    Hey, is there a deal if I only want to get a set of REARs only? Please let me know. I'm ready to pay up. Do you take Paypal or do we deal with a vendor directly?

    Thanks.
