Re: front fiat dino shocks
Hello Hervé,
I am searching for alternatives as well, as my brandnew Konis are too soft in compression mode, leading to heavy break dive.
In the past, Sachs 170 564 and Bilstein 24-005494 B6 dampers were available (similar parts as for the Fiat 125), but currently unobtainable.
The only current alternative seems to be Spax. I will try them now.
Your link seems to show a "no-name" reproduction for Fiat 125.
Regards
Ribolla

Re: front fiat dino shocks
Could you not get your original ones rebuilt as they seem to come apart easily and would only need some seals and new oil.
Re: front fiat dino shocks
Yes rebuilding would be ideal, but i have not found a shop yet that rebuilds old RIV oil shocks..
If you know of any, please share it with us..

Re: front fiat dino shocks
I am just finishing my body restoration and not yet got round to the mechanical, so I don't know of a shock rebuilder. If I get stuck I will do them myself.

Is there anything wrong with the Koni, such as available at Superformance?dinoverde wrote: ↑Thu Feb 13, 2020 8:28 am can anyone recommend any shocks for the dino coupe 2 liter besides the usual Konies.?Has anyone tried those: https://www.historic-cars.net/historic- ... -Fiat-Dino

I have also read that a Koni facility in the US will rebuild vintage Koni shocks but have not tried it myself. A few minutes googling it should lead you to it. I distinctly recall some vintage Lamborghini guys talking about it on their forum.

Re: front fiat dino shocks
I bought the Koni from Superformance UK. Ride is very soft. I’m looking for something sportier as well.
Does anyone make uprated springs?

Re: front fiat dino shocks
Bilstein is still producing the front dampers. you can order them in softer 125 and stiffer 132 specification.
Re: front fiat dino shocks
