phenryiv1 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 I did some searching on the open internet and found some references to the annual Koni ~20%-off sale being March 1, but I can't get any confirmation, plus I can't find any information on the duration of the sale. Has anyone heard anything concrete? I want to order a set of Konis for my WRX and would love to save the 20% that people saved last year.

PhillyWilly Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Bump. I'm picking up konis soon as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phenryiv1 Posted February 23, 2012 Author Share Posted February 23, 2012 Koni stated on the phone that it was going to happen soon but would not confirm a date or discount percentage. I actually bought mine with a still-active code from 2010 that someone sent me on NASIOC. I paid $550 shipped for all 4 for my WRX. I spoke to several vendors, however, and I may have still overpaid, as I got a quote (based on last year's discount) of $450 plus shipping from one vendor. Even if shipping is $30-35, I am still behind, BUT Koni sometimes limits the sale to stock-on-hand, so at least I have my set. Maybe I can call the vendor and ask if I can process a return and re-buy. Even with the restocking fee it would be about $40-50 cheaper to return and re-buy, if indeed they drop to $450 on March 1. The vendor who quoted me $450+ ship is the one who told me the March 1 start date. Mine just arrived today. Unfortunately, the guy from whom I was buying strut cores has totally bailed, so I am back looking for 08-10 WRX/Impreza cores. Boo on that.

PhillyWilly Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Thanks for the update! Could you pm me with who you spoke to re: the Mar 1 date and $450 quote?? I wont have time to install mine until April so March would be a perfect time to buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phenryiv1 Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 I am getting a ton of PMs about this topic, so I will post some of the info in this thread. I found the initial information through Google, which makes me question why so many people are PMming me to find info that I found through Google, but that is another matter entirely. I don't mind helping people out, but... So anyway, I spoke with 2 guys at IDParts (they are typically a VW vendor)- Peter and Corey. I first contacted Corey, (Corey@idparts.com), who sent my specific part number request to Peter (he emailed me from sales@idparts.com). Remember, the price that I got from them was an ESTIMATE and it pertained to 2011 WRX-specific dampers. Your experience may vary. ID Parts phone: 888-444-7951 They both said (pretty clearly) that it is their understanding that the sale starts March 1, and a couple of other places on different (non-Subaru) forums posted the same, BUT nobody knows the exact percentage, which is set by Koni. One thing is for sure- Order early. Typically, they don't honor the pricing for backordered parts. I actually bought mine through TH Motorsports a couple of weeks ago. They are a vendor on NASIOC, and when I posted the thread asking about the tax-time sale, someone PMmed me and gave me a still-active code.

BoostWagon Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Eurosport Design has the Konis for LGT wagons 05-08 for $540, not sure how that will compare to a Koni sale but it was good enough for me to order today, hassle free. We'll see if I have buyers remorse for not waiting tomorrow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sloppyjoe4by Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Here it is, its official...20% off. http://www.koni-na.com/shockvalue/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blongo804 Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Hmm, will this work through vendors too since they seem to get cheaper prices even with the 20% off through Koni? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamal Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 That's what I was wondering until earlier today when I got an email about from one of my distributors (who has 05-09 legacy struts in stock). yes dealers get an extra discount. Lasts until the end of may. Kind of want a set for myself- the sti struts are getting a little old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phenryiv1 Posted March 1, 2012 Author Share Posted March 1, 2012 Koni lists the MSRP on their site, and they sell at that price. Vendors can sell lower by cutting their profit margins, but at a certain point, they lose money if they sell any cheaper. For Koni to drop the baseline cost by 20%, it allows vendors to sell for 20% less and keep the same profit margins. Vendors can still set their own pricing- they just get the supply for 20% mess through May 1. Patrick Looking for spacers or adapters to install aftermarket speakers in the doors of your Legacy?

phenryiv1 Posted March 2, 2012 Author Share Posted March 2, 2012 Heads-up: PLEASE do not post the code for the place where I got mine on here. The more it is out there, the more likely they are to turn it off. I got mine for my WRX for $550 shipped with the code. Just called them to get the current sale price: $600 shipped. I would STRONGLY recommend that you call and get a price from them and verify stock but DO NOT tell them that you have the code. I ordered mine a couple weeks ago and they were showing in-stock on the website but they cancelled my order an hour or so later when they found that they were out of stock. I assumed that they booted it because I used an old code. I called and they let me re-order them AND used the code, but I had no choice other than to tell them the code so that they could place the order with a note that I'd wait until they came back in stock. Maybe nobody there cares about the code being old, but don't ruin it for others if they DO care. If you verify that they have them in stock, then order them online and use the code. Google is your friend. Hint: The code was a 2010 code. FYI- My "backordered" struts came in about a week later. http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k271/phenryiv1/WRX/IMAG0365.jpg Patrick Looking for spacers or adapters to install aftermarket speakers in the doors of your Legacy?
