found new sets on ebay for 150$ free shipping for all four...

am wondering if these are suspiciously cheap or okay to buy.

also, what about stagg shocks? read a thread on them and noone said anything bad about them so....

 

I think that price of $150 is probably for each shock.

Koni Sports (Yellows) usually sell for about $150 each or $600 for the set. If you shop around you might get them for about $125 or possibly even $115 per shock. I have never seen them lower than $115, and I don't know if anyplace is selling them that low at this time.

 

Didn't even post the link on Ebay. Trick question? Google broken? At the very least you can check the vendors in the Marketplace.

 

if they WERE a set of koni yellows for 125$, why on earth would i post the link on here for someone else to swoop them up? dude i already told u i dont like u responding to my posts ur an mentally inferior and a smartass ive told u multiple times u never help u just "try" to be funny ("try")

and the question was "is it suspiciously cheap?" i know that others go for 500$ on the other ebay auctions but i wasnt sure if there were some companies that buy them in bulk and sell them cheaper idk thats why i was asking

but once again, thanks

 

also, does anyone have first hand experience with staggs? the threads ive read about them had nothing but good things to say about them in terms of reliability and stiffness. pretty fair price about 150$.

 

Your not gonna find many people on this forum that are more knowledgeable than Grumblemarc. He has helped many people with many different issues.
Sure he can be rude at times, but I would trust what he says more than I would you.

Mentally inferior?
Swearing shows a lack of education and logic. Just thought I would mention that.

 

how does swearing show lack of education? smartass,just like sarcastic, is only a word..we're supposed to live by this invisible code where some words are "no-no words" so if challenging preposterous ways of societal thinking reflect poor logic then i dont even know what to say.


i didnt want to turn this into a flame fest, i actually had a legitimate question. but what u dont know is ive asked him multiple times to not respond to my threads frankly because i dont enjoy his "funny" remarks and to date, he hasnt helped me with ONE issue ive posted about. even still, he told me to "google" or "check the "marketplace"...OK thats not even what i asked i already know some pairs go for 500 or more, i didnt know if anyones had first hand knowledge/experience with the set of konis on eBay. i didnt know if theyre knockoffs, or if the company bought them in bulk and is able to sell them for cheap

but back to original question if anyone has any type of knowledge of staggs or the ebay koni's let me know. im going to contact the seller and double check that the auction is for 4 of them. it already states its for a set i believe so ill double check.

 

First of all, you haven't posted the Ebay link so we can actually view these Konis and possibly answer your question. I would only buy something from Ebay if it was being sold by a private seller.

If you haven't heard of Stagg shocks on here, their probably not a good choice for a Honda.

As far as searching around, that's what you have to do. You CANNOT expect H-T to spoon feed you all the answers.

 

But public forum doe.

Lack of effort on the OPs part is quite evident. Could he have simply done a Google search to see what these go for new from any Etailer like JHP? Absolutely. Did he? No. Did he mention that he did? No. Already knew prices were waaaaaaay more expensive than this mystical set on Ebay? Yes (claims he did). Expected H-T to somehow identify said shocks as real with positively absolutely no information on them whatsoever? Not even the picture FROM the Ebay auction (which would NOT have revealed the location of the auction BTW)? No! Chance that OP did not properly read the auction description? Great. Ever heard of the phrase "To good to be true"? Apparently not. Was this post even necessary? No.

This is why you get a hard time. Lack of information and lack of effort on your part. Welcome to the spoonfed generation. I guess I shoudn't be too surprised at the OPs juvenile responses. My Middle School kids also get mad when I ask them to actually think.

 

I work in a building full of engineers and some of them do the same thing

There is a seller on ebay selling Koni sports for ~480 with free shipping though. Pretty good deal.

 

things i found:

sets of konis for 150-450 on ebay
also found set of staggs for 150 on ebay

things i did:

researched the prices of koni yellows


researched an old thread on whether staggs are any good. old thread said they didnt have nay problems with them and liked them

Asked the seller if these were for a whole set-no repsonse yet. (pictures show an entire set and is marketing it as if theyre an entire set.) also, the title says "shockS"


Questions i had:

new information or new reviews of staggs

if anyone has bought a set of koni yelows on ebay for 150

if the cheap set of konis are cheap because they were bought by the seller in bulk or if they are replicas etc.




sending u a link to the selling page will do nothing?

ive told u all that they are on there. a whole set for koni yellows for my car

what on earth will the ebay page do? do u need to see the picture?

ive bought and sold things on ebay its not like i dont know what im looking for in a sellers page

if asking for any new information is a lack of motivation and asking to be spoonfed then ur obviously the ones not reading the "OP's" posts


pretty simple really. if u have info or first hand experience on using staggs or buying/using the cheaper sets of koni yellows on ebay then let me know. otherwise dont even reply to this thread? especially the *****----cat.

 

BUT PUBLIC FORUM DOE!

New sets of Koni Yellows do NOT sell for $150 a set for a Honda/Acura. From anywhere.
Does THAT not tell you something?

BTW, I've been on Ebay since 2000. Never saw a legit set of Konis for that price FOR A SET. You cannot even get a new set of 4 REDs for that price! Maybe some Orange but that would only be for a set of 2.

RIGHT NOW. A search for "Koni Yellow" brings up 990 search results. The lowest of which is a beat up shock for a VW for $40.

I'm looking at an auction that says it's for Koni shocks (plural) but deeper into the listing it states plainly that it's for a rear shock and that "all Koni shocks are sold separately". They also have free shipping and they are for 149.00.

Bidding on a shock for a shock starts at $49 with $30 S&H.
The lowest BIN price for single Koni Yellow is $107.95.
There are C8 shocks that LOOK like Konis for $250 a set.

So ask yourself again if you are actually looking at an auction that is actually selling a SET of 4 Koni Yellows for $150 with free shipping!
Then tell ME how in blazes you found a seller getting rid of brand new Koni Yellows for only $150? That sound legit to you? You honestly thinking "buying in bulk" will get you THAT kind of a deal? They would have to be the Walmart seller of Ebay.

And Stagg shocks are bargain basement OEM replacement shocks no where near the league of a Koni Yellow. Those pop up in my Ebay search too.

Doing a search for Koni & Prelude I get only 2 listings that match your $149.99 with shipping price.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Prelude-KONI-Sport-Yellow-Shocks-8041-1155Sport-/180959329836?fits=Modelrelude&hash=item2a22043e2 c&item=180959329836&pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Acce ssories&vxp=mtr
Neither of them is for the set.

 

I payed 436 euro for four new konis shock's in my local motor factors for a ek

 

my bad i saw the title and must have glanced right over the "Rear left" line just like how u originally misread the real questions to this forum..
and also i didnt know if people make knockoff koni's or if the seller was just liquidating his supply. I DIDNT KNOW. thats why i asked. and through my research, ive seen people claim that the staggs are better than OEM quality which is why i asked. dont even be on a public forum where people ask questions if ur not willing to answer them with helpful information. smart alec remarks get gets people no where. if i asked "how do i turbo my civic" then this would be a different scenario all around. my question was legitimate and others that dont know a whole lot about shocks would have gained knowledge had u just responded to this thread to the best of ur knowledge in the first place. now this whole thread is scrambled up with everything else making it a lost thread

 

It shouldn't have even been a thread if you knew how to read an Ebay auction from top to bottom. And then acted like you knew everything to top it off. And THEN acted like the auction was some kind of secret or something. If you had just LINKED to it you could have avoided all this nonsense. You didn't know because you didn't want to know. You saw the title and what appeared to be a cheap price only and jumped on it. People like you make bad Ebayers. I see the feedback all the time.

Things did NOT do. Read the entire Ebay auction.

Always so quick to get defensive and lash out in a juvenile manner instead of admitting you just didn't do your due diligence.

Just like my middle school kids.

 

ive already said my bad, i missed a line of text in the auction. i wasnt going to post a link to the ebay page to have them get picked up by someone else on here if they really were going for that cheap. and there were two questions, as ur still misreading the original post to this thread. and to be honest i dont like youre attitude on here and ive never had any success talking to you so yes sorry if i dont like u posting on my threads even after ive asked u multiple times not to. and of course u did and here we go again. the auction was even named "SHOCKS" so it was a convoluted ebay selling page

 

alright thanks

 

YOu answered your Koni question yourself.
AND your Stagg question yourself.

Here's some Ebay advice for ya. If the auction is not clear then don't bid.

 

I came here for new information on staggs the other thread was old and most of the people only installed them recently. i was looking for the long term quality of them and other/new reviews. the other thread only had 5 or 6 people who had success with them.

same with koni yellows.

didnt know if people made replicas or if they were going for super cheap

thanks for still not understanding the original questions

 

If you say so.
If only 5 or 6 people have claimed to have used them, as opposed to the dozens, maybe hundreds of people that have used Konis, then that should also tell you something. I think post #8 stated that plainly. The PRICE ALONE should tell you EVERYTHING.

Whether I understood the questions or not you still got your answers. Stagg is a low quality OEM replacement shock and Koni's don't sell for $150/set anywhere on planet Earth.

 

one of the people that had good things to say about staggs said that he owned an integra on skunk2 coils and a high end shock brand(cant remember which brand exactly) and when he installed them on his friends civic, he was impressed by their performance. one guy said he had them for 3 years and was still using them with good results. these reviews all wee positive but the more reviews of them the better. i have to replace all 4 calipers, rotors, pads, axles, brake lines, just bought a stupid knock sensor, valve seals, etc. so seeing as theyre relatively cheap with so far claimed good performance, i might just pick up a pair. but im seeing if anyone on here has anything to say about them. the other thread was on a non-honda-tech forum so not as many users.

 

It does not. The way that you attempt to communicate speaks volumes.

Is your question still legitimate once you realized the "issues" you are having in this thread would have been avoided if you simply read the auction correctly?





QFTMFT

 

already said my bad for not reading the one line in the ebay auction and i had two questions in this thread so yea the thread still stands for anyone having staggs on their car and i could honestly care less what anyone on HT thinks. the 20 second messages i type on here dont get my full attention i write something and then exit out. if ur trying to judge someones intelligence via 8 messages on an online thread i laugh at you

 

You're asking about Staggs because they pop up when you do a search for Konis for a Prelude on Ebay and you somehow thought they were an alternative to Koni Yellows. Just like every other thread that I've read about them. "I found these on Ebay. Are they worth it?" You're were also hoping that they were a legit option of equal quality if you found out the Koni's you were looking at were somehow NOT legit. That's why you want to know about Staggs so badly. Obviously you're trying to play fast and cheap with your suspension. I owned a Prelude and I wouldn't put that bullshit on my car if I still had it.

Champagne tastes. Kool-aid money.

 

I like Kool-Aid, although Hawaiian Punch is better.
