can someone please post the part numbers for the front and rear KONI yellow (NOT painted yellow) sport shocks that are externally adjustable? there has been a lot of debate about what numbers they are and i would just like to know for certain what the numbers are.

For 3.2TL or 2.5TL?

sorry, i need the numbers for the 2.5TL
Front 8041-1185 Rear 8041-1168. For the rear I suggest you get the 8040-1168.The 8040-1168's are adjustable and not just painted yellow, but they are only one way adjustable(height/rebound). You dont need the the second adjustment that the 8041-1168 has becaust even to adjust the rear shocks, you will have to completely take out the entire back seat to do it ,but to adjust the front ones all you have to do is to open your hood and turn the knob on the shocks.I am telling you this from experience get the 8040-1185 for the front and the 8040-1168 for the rear.All these cats telling you about shocks have never even seen there shocks.I was the first one to put knoi yellows(adjustable) on a 2.5 TL. ANY KONI THAT IS YELLOW IN COLOR IS ADJUSTABLE. The ones that are not are RED in color.Feel free to ask me anything you want to know about koni shocks.

kk939-

You don't by chance have the part numbers for a 1997 3.2 ? I have not been able to find any aftermarket shocks. The stock ones are the only ones I've been able to find and the cheapest I could find was $130.00 apiece. I used to pay less than that for my koni's on my Talon! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I dont know if these shocks will fit a 3.2TL. 96TL might know cause he has a 3.2 and I remember him saying that he bought some tokicos for his car:dunno:

nah, i dont think 96tl touched his suspension. 962.5TL did though.. but his is a 2.5
I remember 96TL bought suspensions but he never got to install it before he sold his car.;)
