    I need one. Mine got striped at the shop on top and they broke the adjustment tab off. Sucks. Cause they are brand new.

    Anybody have a set they aren't using? Parting with? Hating? Let me know. Otherwise it's going to take 6-8 weeks for a new one from Koni.

    Thanks all.

    Anyone want to go halfsies on a set of Koni coils?

    Since I still need one, I'm down to spend $550 on one new front and one new rear to have as spares just in case something bad happens one day.

    Lemmmmmmmme know.

    Thanks for the Tein offer, but I love my Konis. I just want to be able to adjust them when needed.

    Oh and for the record, everything besides the stripped thread on top and the little nipple for adjusting them is in perfect shape.

    Not a boo to WRD, they're rad. Boo to so much monies being spent. Yuck.
    Thanks for looking, all.
