I know a place that might have it in stock.

However, I'm still looking for a new set of '88 REAR Koni shocks.

Please connect me, if you can! I'll keep an eye out for rears for you.

If you can't find Koni 8040-1092 for the fronts, I bought a 8040 series for a Corvette and had Performance Shock shorten and re-valve it. This was a good solution for much stiffer (~650 lbs) front springs with a 1" lowering. My total cost was $515 for the shocks and modifications.

The place I mentioned earlier, got back to me, saying they still have it in stock.

It's $180 each. Interested?

I'd appreciate if you could let me know if you know anyone that have new rear Koni shocks for sale.

Yes, I'd be interested. Please PM me contact details, or post here if easier. Thank you.

I haven't heard anything on rear. I checked with my guy at Tire Rack, Jegs, Summit. No luck. I have a note out to Koni and am awaiting a reply.

Got no "thank you" from Z3SpdDmn.

Good to know what kind of person he is.

Sean, at 3:48pm on 1/17/20, I sent you the following message, so I'm not sure what you're calling me out for. I literally thanked you twice in the same message.

Haha. Thanks Sean. Koni sent me a lead to them and I just talked to Joe over there. It sounds like they have at least a dozen in stock, but no rears. If there was enough demand, they could get Koni to make a run, but they need to buy like 50 at a time.

Thanks again!

Yet, you credited yourself for finding the source in other thread. Jeez!

I contacted the store to make sure they have it in stock for you.

Once you get what you need, you just walk over people, huh?

This is why I don't bother anymore.

I'm sorry you feel that way. I'd INDEPENDENTLY found the same source and spoke to them BEFORE I received the contact info from you. I thanked you for providing it, anyways. I'm not sure what you were looking for me to do here.

You know, Sean, I think I see the issue here. You'd reached out to them before, on MY behalf, to check stock. I don't think I recognized this.
So, let me thank you again for going out of your way for me. I do appreciate it.
For what its worth, I've been keeping you in mind regarding rear Koni struts, but haven't heard of any turning up yet.

I'm trying to participate in this community and I thank you for doing the same. Let's shake hands (virtually, since we have to socially distance ourselves) and keep it up.

I'd order a pair of rears if we're getting a "collection" together - can always use a backup.
