Hey guys i was looking at importing a set of Koni Yellow dampers from USA for my s2k. Although i was told at a suspension shop that the US s2000s are different from the aus delivered and they wont fit my car if i get them from the states. I checked the part numbers and they are the same between the 2 countires. Was wondering if the guy just said that so id buy from him or if it is true. thanks

No difference. Just buy them :)
Everyone gets their coilovers from overseas these days.

who you going through Anthony?

i looked into it once before and was nearly going to be worth getting coilovers for the same dollars?

if I were you - just as a point of reference id get a quote on them locally, places like autobarn can get Koni Yellows, freight will be the killer.

The freight is not too bad. This seller can do the whole thing for under $800.

You can buy coilovers for $700-1000, but not good ones. ;)

Hi mate,
I purchased mine off my work @ Wholesale Suspension in Penrith NSW.
They have a website with all contact details,
give them a call,
I haven't fitted them as of yet as I am waiting for additional parts to fit all in one go.
:thumbsup:

I think what everybody wants to know is how much did you pay?

I had Koni Yellows in my old MX5 and they were height adjustable too, there was a circlip holding the bottom of the spring mount which could be raised or lowered.

does anyone know if its the same on the s2000 ones??

Hey guys,
I do apologise for the delayed reply.
For the Yellow externally adjustable Koni shock absorbers,
club trade price I can ship them to Melbourne for $895.00 + $25 frieght. (retail is approx $1115.00)
Please let me know if anybody is interested in springs and other parts also.

I will be starting a thread on some acceptional quality parts Wholesale Suspension has access to.

Thanks
