So, Koni referred me to Classic Garage in Brewster, NY, as they had made the last bulk order of the front Koni Red dampers (8040 1092). They still have ~ a dozen of the fronts in stock, in case anyone needs them. $179.96 each. After this, I checked my inbox and found that this was the same source that Jay-ID had.
I spoke with Joe at Classic Garage (www.classicgarage.com): (845) 940-1900
Unfortunately, they don't have the rears. In order for them to get Koni to make another run, they'd need to place an order of at least 50 of each.
Cheers

Actually, I gave you a hint in private message that it was Classic Garage. I guess you didn't credit me for it. SMH!
When people tell you where to go, it usually is a nice manner to thank them & credit them.
See this thread from the Mall. Got no thanks from this guy. Good to know what kind of person he is.

I think I mis-credited Jay-ID by mistake. I was bouncing between my inbox, here, and calling Koni and Classic Garage, that I got the names mixed up. I believe I meant to credit you there. I don't have any PM's from Jay-ID.
Simple mistake. No need to call my character into question here.------------------

Those are the Koni strut inserts. This is how they work https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXSnNZt3NiI
It looks like WCF is making them up using old struts or possibly new KYB's as they can be had fairly cheap from any discount Autoparts store. If you really want Koni struts it really is not that complicated to install these in to your old struts.------------------

I will be attempting to install the koni inserts into my old OE struts soon. One gotcha doing this is that I believe you'll have to have a gland nut adapter machined.

I have watched the video twice now and I don't see anything other than common tools required. I was thinking of going back to a strut system on the rear of my car but once I added up the cost of making Koni's up I decided against it. ------------------

I have a set of the Koni strut inserts on all four corners of my DD. They were installed 10 years and 100,000 miles ago, no problems and dampening is still great.
