    Default Rear Koni's

    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:

    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.

    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.

    Hi Peter,

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