I'm looking for a set of Koni classic red adjustable shocks for an early king & link/swing axle beetle (they are the same as a split kombi) in good/usable condition.

Part# front 80 1349
Part# rear 80 1350

Cheers
Peter

Thanks Anton

I was looking at that site the other week, but I was hoping to see if I could find them a little cheaper

How do you find the Bilstein gas?

I didn't like the 'bounce' I got from KYB on my sunroof bug and gave them away and got full set of the Koni's.
I have a pair of IRS Koni's on the back of Betty at the moment and they instantly made her handle 100% better, but they don't sit right due the the bottom mount being wider and I think they are valved to respond differently??

Pete, perfect ride and not soft like KYB--- handles nice a flat.
I have had Bilstiens on my 64 notch for over 22 years, still like new
