Title: Koni shocks for a 600
Post by: zippyfiat on August 29, 2008, 12:35:31 AM
I am in need of a pair of new Koni shocks (red) for a 600.  Who has these for sale?  I see that Scorpion Abarth Parts has them listed.  I'm not sure if I need the fronts or rears.  I have one pair for the front or rear already and will have to check the part numbers to confirm.

Gil,In almost most countries there is a Koni supplier/agent.'Google' Koni and ask them what part number you need and for a local dealer.Its allways cheaper buying in you own country as freight is getting dearer and dearer these days.Grant

Thanks Grant, I'll give that a try.  I thought though, that Konis for a 600 haven't been produced for a long time and are thus hard to find?

Hi all, thanks for comments so far.  Scorpione Abarth Parts has told me that the Koni black and Koni red shocks are the same. Can anyone confirm this?  They also say that the red ones are NLA, as I suspected.   I thought that the black ones were weaker than the red.  And there are Koni Yellow shocks too (not sure if ever made for a 600).  I already have a set of front and rear black Konis, so maybe I am okay.  I guess I could dig out my shocks and check out the numbers on them.  I wonder if the red and black ones used a different part number?

Another option I suppose would be to try the black ones out, and if absolutely unsatisfactory for my driving style, send them to Koni and get them revalved.
