    Has anyone had experience having the Koni's on a 328 or 308 rebuilt ? After 17 years I would guess they need some attention though ride and handling are pretty good .

    I think it's cheaper to just replace them.

    Yes, based on previous threads, it is cheaper to just buy new from an on-line discount source.

    Ditto on just replace. I went through this analysis on my '84 Mondial QV and it came out to be just about the same price to buy new ones. And you end up with new ones, plus saved the cost of shipping the old ones out for rebuilding.

    Takes less time & money to replace rather than rebuild.

    Well, in the case of the later model Ferraris where the shocks can run upwards of $900 each, then rebuilding makes good sense...expecially with fellow F-chatter Rob offering his services:
