Thanks Brian.

I wrote that very phone# down from the website. Honestly, I don't remember what the shocks were. But I paid about 350-400(?) dollars for them in the mid 80's. They are the alumnum body 3 way adjustables.

The factor of the rebuild cost versus a new pair was discussed last nite. Once I crawl under the car and identify them, I'll probably call and see what I'm up against and weigh my options.

I have plenty of time. Lots of work to be accomplished. In all Likelyhood, maybe, this time next year I'll be able to get the old girl out. doubt anytime sooner would be realistic.

"Post edit: They are likely double adjustable shocks, I was mistaken. They are the 8212 series shocks. I pulled them off this afternoon after I got off work. These are rebuildable. At least I now have some information to give to Koni."

the total cost of my rebuild was $350.00 this included shipping back to me.
the cost will vary depending on what parts are needed to be replaced..i think Paul qouted me $120.00 per shock plus parts..

cost me about $25.00 to send them out there...

depending on what type shock you run or have, you need to weigh out the rebuild cost vs cost for a new set...
if you are not looking for a fancy shock ( single adjustable etc...) you can get them pretty cheap..
but in my case my shocks were about $500.00 (each) to replace so the rebuild was worth the cost.


also they will send you the dyno sheet back with the shocks..

also don't be in a rush..it took 5 weeks for me to get mine back...


hope this helps.
