Koni shocks - all gone?

[stevep2000]

I'm enjoying driving my S2 more regularly now I've started a new job that isn't in central london, and decided to treat myself to some new Konis as it's feeling a little skippy on some of the rougher roads. Spoke to Proven Products, who've since come back to me to tell me that there are none available at Koni, and there won't be another production run until at least August! Are they trying to send me down the KW route?
However, looks like I could possibly order from Paragon is US & have them shipped over and they'd still be cheaper, depending on what customs charge me......
Hope this isn't a sign of things to come, with parts getting harder to get hold of.

No standard practice, the Koni factory closes down for a month in summer and if there are made to order or in batchs you may have to wait. Ring around and you may find someone has some in stock.

What type are you after?

I was looking at the usual Koni Sport adjustables,

Front 8641-1414S, Rear 8040-1035S. Thinking about doing the rears initially, and the fronts when I'm a bit braver/richer...

This is a concern. I've been waiting for mine from Proven for nearly 3 weeks and the latest I was told was they would be here by the middile of next week, but I have been given the run-arounbd a little over the last few days.....I think i need to investigate this further!!

I bought mine from K300 - 0870 757 5557. I think the contact was Steve.
