    Feeler: Group Buy Koni's * Now Closed *

    Mods: Please leave this in the E36 M3 forum for awhile since it most likely gets more views here- Thanks. I have arranged a group buy for Koni Sa's for E36 M3 for $510 shipped, E36 325/328 fitment for $500 shipped. If you want in, Email me at Mpowered3@gmail.com soon! Unfortunately, California residents will be hit with 7.75% sales tax. Orders are currently being taken and GB will close on Oct. 4th.

    Update

    They can do this deal for $510 shipped if we get 10 people up front and order at one time. Each person will have their own order with the company and own tracking etc.. They are checking on stock right now, but it may take up to two weeks for them to be shipped. let me know what ya think!

    Are the Konis you're considering closer to a stock ride? I'm looking for new shocks/struts and am interested in retaining a near stock ride.

    Guess I can check out Konis web site for a description of these.

    Yes, all 4 - 2 strut inserts and 2 rear shocks. I guess I do need to add that the strut inserts are inserted in original strut housings after the OEM ones are removed.

    Matt, I don't see why not. I'll have to inquire about it though, it may be a little more, not sure. I'll get back to you though if they are in the office tomorrow. -- Matt

    Someone should start putting together and selling preinstalled koni inserts for M3 owners. There's clearly a niche market here that someone could take advantage of. I'd definitely pay a premium for the convenience. Especially since I'm at school with no tools, place to work, etc.

    Jeff

    I thought about this after I did mine.
    Problem is sourcing blown struts. Figure maybe an hour and a half to do the job.
    Dispose of the unneeded parts and oil.
    Then paint. I did mine in safety yellow to match the konis.

    How much to charge? Most people wouldn't pay $50 over the cost of Konis.
    Likely have to source struts from wrecking yards and they aren't free.

    Preinstalled is even more ambitious.
    The inserts aren't cheap.
    Then will Koni or authorized vendor allow them to be sold?
    Maybe a couple of kits, but nothing in the realm of a market.

    Yeah, honestly the only reason I don't want Konis is because of the pain to install the fronts. If they sold a complete strut, I would have bought a set months ago. Oh well.
