These are Koni's, they are not the ones I normally sell. They are very, very similiar to the 8611's but don't have compression adjustability. They are rebound adjustable (require removal to adjust). They require the bigger housing to work. They will handle 500lb springs. They will work on a B13/14/15. They are not installed in the housings at this time. I am getting out of the Koni install business so these have to go. You can buy them a couple ways. BUT THEY WILL ONLY WORK WITH COILOVER SETUP. You or I need to weld the perch on. This is a advantage for those who weld themselves. Or I will do it for you.
Inserts are 132 each. Total $264
Housings for the Inserts are $50 for the set. YOU CAN NOT USE YOUR OEM SENTRA HOUSINGS with these inserts.
I will charge $50 to weld the perch's on if you need that. And 75 to install them in the housings. If you want to weld and install them I will prepare them for $25 (you save $100), you can weld the perch and install them yourself after welding. I will help you with the install. All the hard parts will be done for you. It's a bolt in affair + a little epoxy. I can't install them till a perch is welded on.
So if you weld, you can pay 264+50=314 and have a great setup. This setup is adjustable, and will be very similiar to a 8611 setup from the drivers seat. Better then the old 8611 that has too much compresion dampeing. If you want a complete set of konis you can pay another 264 for some rears that would work great with a B13 and also handle 400+ pound springs.
These Koni's are from a Maxima. Rears would be from the front of a B14 sentra.
I ussually only sell them installed in the housing. So they would be 339 installed in your housings or 389 installed in my cores. These are better then the ones I normal sell by a great margin. Plus, these would have the weld on perch and I always charge $50 for that. It's a nice flat perch and cuts down on noise and makes the setup very clean.
Maxima inserts are 1.77. I found another set of housings rummaging around the garage looking for my dial calipers. So I can do another set just like this. This is my last set of housing. They are altima housings as well so only maxima inserts with the welded on perch again. .
Monty, what happened to your STs that you had rebuilt?
They've been sitting in the garage for the past year. The valving is to stiff for the street, even though they feel great on the track, the street ride is not worth it for me . I'm hoping to find someone to revalve them, but no luck so far .
I am pretty sure that Morris Dampeners messed something up on the rebuild, and after what I went through with them I wouldn't want to ask them to revalve them.
I found another set of cores. I don't know what they came off of. I need to measure them up and see what I can do with them. I can get back to you. You live close to me btw it seems.

There's gotta be someone somewhere who messes with Bilsteins. Have you posted on some the "national" message boards like sccaforums.com or maybe improvedtouring.com?
I actually wish I had kept them (until Steve's deal came along ) along with a ton of other SE-R parts I sold when I thought I wouldn't need them anymore (Autopower rollbar, Corbeau seat -- although I picked one up locally that's nearly new for $80 -- various pairs of ERS springs). I guess all car geeks are like that anyway.
I have 2 sets of them which are mostly blown. I know there has to be a Koni insert out there that would be a perfect fit. Steve Lotho found a company to rebuild his but you don't wanna know how much that ran
