I have ordered 1LE parts for my car including the Koni DA. I got them from GMPD.

1LE (2) Front shock absorber - Koni yellow: (GM p/n 22140240)
(Pair) $355.73 (Shipping / Handling) $71.15 (Total) $426.88

1LE (2) Rear shock absorber - Koni yellow: (GM p/n 22140228)
(Pair) $353.24 (Shipping / Handling) $70.65 (Total) $423.89

I haven't dealt with Jason or Dal yet, they should be able to beat this price some.

SLP was the lowest I could find and they wanted $1149.95 plus shipping.

I have seen quotes for $700 + on Koni SA, so this looked like a deal to me.

Now everyone can post and tell me how much I over paid for these shocks, just to torment me.

I think you got a really good deal. The cheapest that I've found for 2 front Koni SA shocks were 440.00 plus shipping. Thanks for the tip, I was just about to order from another vendor.

I don't think the Koni shocks are available through GM anymore.

I am gonna check on that one, I hope you don't end up getting the 1LE spec DeCarbons instead of Koni DAs.......

They say they have the rears ready to ship, the fronts back ordered for a few days. They say they are coming. I hope they are the right shock also, DeCarbons are not the same partnumber and were not used after 1995. Latest email update posted below.

Dear Allen,
I have got in contact with GM and placed your absorber (22140240) on
**** order which by there policy gives them 72 hrs to ship out the part
to us. They just received stock today (7/13/04). So as soon as we
receive your absorber (22140240) we will ship your order to you. Thank
you for your patients.

The shocks arrived today.

They are the correct Koni Double adjustable shocks. I got all four, two fronts and two rears.

They appear to be in good shape, with some small paint chips from shipping.

The rear shocks included the "Koni" **** for adjusting, and the rubber mounting donuts and washers. They also sent a small rigid stick on emblem that says "Koni Improved".

The front shocks include the upper shock nut, washer and spring perch. They also have a black plastic piece that appears to be a large washer or spacer for the top or bottom of the spring.

I tried the adjustments on the rear shocks and that did not cause any leaks at the upper end of the shock stem.

No date codes that I know how to read appear on the boxes or the shocks.

So what info can I pass on,

1). You can get Koni DA from GM, these have GM partnumbers on the boxes. The P/N's I listed are good.

2). They could be old stock, since no date of Mfg. is stamped into the shocks where I can find it. They do not appear to be leaking, but only time will tell.

3). At the price I paid ($850.00) they are a good deal. I thought somebody might have gotten a better price somewhere I hadn't heard of. But it looks like this price is as good as it gets. If they are charging $1700.00 now. You would be better off buying from Sam, tirerack, or SLP.

4). If the price comes up as $1700.00 email them and ask if it is right. When I did that they told me that it was a mistake on the website and changed it.

So thats all the useful info I have.
