Koni shocks for a 2012 V6 Camaro

Koni Orange with springs (NOTE THESE ARE LOWERING SPRINGS!, which might not be what you want)
(Complete Kit)
1125 1072
$760.12

Koni Orange without springs
(Front)
8750 1105L
8750 1105R
$147.56 each, so times two

(Rear)
8250 1029
$105.40 each, so times two

My favorite setup is using Koni Orange with stock springs (the originals that are on your car). Or, alternatively Moog SS or Heavy Duty springs. You would pull your front struts off yourself and drop them off with the new shocks to your repair shop and get them to load your new shocks onto your old springs (or new Moog springs). Then you install the new shocks with the old springs loaded, onto your car. I would not try to use a spring compressor and change your front shocks onto your old springs as.... it's dangerous. F'nn springs are deadly if the spring compressor shifts. That is how I broke my finger last summer!

If you want part number for Moog springs, I can get that too

I would do lots of youtube watching to know exactly how to change shocks and springs, it helps tons!

Koni orange shocks are awesome for street use
