Koni Shock Bushings

Owens84QV · Jul 8, 2015

I'm going back to my OEM Koni shocks and need to install new upper and lower shock-mount bushings. Both Superformance as well as Maranello Concessionaires offers them.

Superformance (P/N 100809)
Suspension Parts for Ferrari 308 - Superformance
It's advertised as an "uprated" bushing.

Maranello Concessonaires
https://www.ferrariparts.co.uk/PagesExternal/Search.aspx lists the same part, but looks to be the standard bushing.

Any experiences with either parts? Any thoughts or recommendations?

Hi Greg,
Since sending my original Konis out for rebuild, I've been running NOS Bilsteins with the Superformance 130516 bushings (mine is a late '88 328) which are identical in construction to your 100809 bushings. I like the bushings well enough that I've bought another set for my Konis, since in Kentucky, they didn't replace the bushings (Koni said they are NLA!)... They pressed in perfectly, and the ride is sublime... So, FWIW, my experience has been terrific with both the Bilsteins and the Superformance bushings, after a couple thousand miles.

I put the Superformance shock bushings on my car a couple years ago when I did a full suspension refresh. No issues with them for installation or driving. Definitely tightened things up.

Thanks guys...just the input I was looking for. Bushings from both suppliers were listed as 100809, only the Superformance bushing was listed as "uprated" and was looking for experience from anyone who may have used either. Thanks!

Have used both and have not had any issues but we did fit the updated springs at the same time earlier this year so hard to say how much difference they have made
