I think I spoke to Monika too, she spoke good English and we had no confusion. Looks like you got quoted for a single rear koni red damper and a front spring!

I kind of got lost on this thread of what was wanted, what was quoted, and what was thought to be quoted. This may be a needless reminder but make sure you get a quote on shipping.

I was quoted £440 from Machine 7 for Kerscher front struts in 2004. Shipping to the USA was another £120. That was over a grand when doing the currency conversion at the time, and I am sure the conversion isn't much better two years later.

I do realize the discussion is not with Machine 7 in the UK but I just want to make sure shipping costs across the Atlantic doesn't become an unexpected thorn.
