I have just tried to buy some rear Koni's for the Q4 from Motorsport World but they tell me they are not available. I've already bought a front pair - does anybody know where I can get some in the UK or Europe ?

You may already have tried these:

Not specific about model, but usually good:

Might be worth dropping this mob an email too:

Thanks I'll try - but a lot of the on line stores don't hold stock.

Koni rears now out of production - have tried all the above - have gone for SPAX which are being made to special order.

8240-1138sport are for Q4
try with 8240-1139sport for fiat coupe, they are shorter
or 8240-1152sport for alfa 145/6

I don't know the difference
I ask KONI but did not receive the answer
But yes you can use 1152 sport on Q4

They will pysically fit but they are different - they are valved differently because of the weight difference. I thought about these but I've bought some Spax instead

I also checked in SA. Both Koni and Bilstein discontinued the Q4 and 155 v6 shocks. I found the last set on the supplier's rack.

Off topic: If you have 25/30mm lowered Coils(Eibach or similar) you can use 916GTV shocks for the front.

I have a set of rear yellow koni dampers. They are used but in good condition. I have used them max 40000 km

Hi Peter,

Thanks for your reply - I have fitted the Spax to the rear and the car seems good.
