Humble Rumble Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Try this Amazon listing as a last ditch. Price is higher but they specifically show 12 in stock. https://www.amazon.com/Koni-8610-1453Sport-Subaru-Impreza/dp/B009EPQLDC?th=1 2012 Legacy 3.6R Build Thread 5th Gen Legacy BM/BR Body Kit Compendium Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrxwhit Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Yeah I saw that too but maybe same thing as eBay and no way to call them and get a quick answer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrxwhit Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 I ordered from Amazon too lol!! So either vendor on eBay or Amazon crossing fingers. If both I'll have an extra set woot woot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humble Rumble Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Just Pm'd you a list of other listings that you should be able to find a way to contact directly to confirm stock. I know how frustrating it can be to try and source a discontinued part. I ran into that with the HKS funnel and the wheels I wanted to buy. It's a disheartening pain in the ass. Â Also, you can click that seller on the Amazon listing and there's an "Ask a question" button. Might be able to get some straight answer using that if all else fails. 2012 Legacy 3.6R Build Thread 5th Gen Legacy BM/BR Body Kit Compendium Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrxwhit Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Thanks a lot!! PM'd you back. Import Image no go, also did email Amazon seller too. Discount bandit couldn't confirm but said they should be available if website says so lol!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrxwhit Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Second eBay transaction no bueno. Praying on Amazon now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrxwhit Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 (edited) First Amazon seller no good, but it was one hidden in the seller list. Chose them since better reviewed. Went back in and purchased from Atlas auto who claims to have 12 units available. This is last hope potentially. Now listing only has 10 units available, hopefully these aren't fictitious numbers!

BBPeik Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Given that the Konis are disappearing and the Bilsteins are no longer sold we are fresh out of performance strut options. I know my Bilsteins have a lifetime warranty so I am good there. Do the Konis have a warranty like that. If not we are going to need to find some option for new owners soon. Coilovers are too much of a pain for a lot of people. My someday I will be done with it thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrxwhit Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Here's the latest from Amazon seller #2http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170107/6a01136d817c860aee20493a3ea88003.png So maybe there is hope, still waiting on confirmation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zee199969 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 The konis are rebuildable, just the downtime to have that done is gonna suck. Hopefully by then I'll have a different daily and make the GT my garage queen My "Build" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully by then I'll have a different daily and make the GT my garage queen And if you set the konis at soft you just periodically increase he stiffness as they age which extends the life. They will last 100k per rebuild I believe Sent from my VS986 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow_419 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Bummer. I really wanted to get a set, but engine trouble is the only focus right now. I probably won't have funds for another month and it looks like everything is dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrxwhit Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 I did on Thursday, just was hoping they were laying around in a random warehouse somewhere but nope. I placed my final last ditch effort order with DiscountBandit who said if the website shows availability, then they should be good to go. I have about zero hopes. Also have a WTB on NASIOC to maybe get lucky!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humble Rumble Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Sounds like the only option for the future going forward may be GTesaer's proposed modification and usage of the updated WRX Koni system. 2012 Legacy 3.6R Build Thread 5th Gen Legacy BM/BR Body Kit Compendium Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrxwhit Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 (edited) Right so I may have to grab the updated struts with a spacer option or grab the WRX KW's over on NASIOC for $1200 and return all purchased parts to vendors Edited January 7, 2017 by wrxwhit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrxwhit Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 GT, both summer and winter wheel widths are 8 and 8.5" wide . Any thoughts if the new KONI full struts will clear or am I a guinea pig here?? Also offsets are both +35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarang Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 If the spring perches sit 1/2" lower in the front it seems like you could tell just by reaching your hand under. Your fingers are at least that wide so if they fit you're golden... I would think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTEASER Posted January 8, 2017 Author Share Posted January 8, 2017 Here's what I'm going to do guys. Was planning on doing this before Christmas but as everyone knows, Christmas gets expensive.  Tonight I will order one of the new Koni WRX full struts from Emnotek and should have it by Tuesday. I can then measure it the same way I measured OEM 2014 STI, 2013 WRX and 2011 Legacy struts that I had a while back, and we can put the question of the mysterious "1/2" " to rest. I suspect it was the 08-10 WRX struts that were 1/2" lower, and the 11-14 WRX struts were nearly identical to ours. Pretty sure the Koni bits would be modeled after the 2011-2014 bits. Still, the only other difference would be the attachment of the speed sensor to the strut body. Ordering now....because I can put them in my Fozz.

BBPeik Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 ^^^And now the real reason comes out. The fozz gets new suspension. My someday I will be done with it thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
