you could try tirerack.com or shox.com. konis seem to be in pretty high demand. personally, i went with a full set of monroes for the same price as a pair of koni shocks..

We carry Koni but I'm not sure if Koni yellows for the xA are in stock. If you're interested shoot me a PM and I'll double check for you. Last I remember though they were backordered, just not sure if we have got any in yet. But we do carry Koni.

My advice would be to just get some put on order...mine will be arriving this afternoon from LTB. Took about a month, but at least I will have them now. My experience with Koni is that they do not make large quantities, but rather make to order as the demand requires...not just on the Toyota/Scions, but other brands as well.

How do you like your monroes? Do they help with the underdampened ride issue? How much were they?

i actually swapped out the stock shocks and struts with monroes and the springs with stock ones from an xA.

the ride is definitely much smoother compared to the stock ride. i have not ridden on konis or other springs so i cant say how it compares to those. costwise, it was about $200 for the struts, shocks, and springs, which gets you just 2 koni shocks.

you can find more specific infor in my post here:

My problem on that site is that it thinks I'm a 2004 Mazda Can't change it to a scion or anything else. Tried 2 diff browsers too... maybe it's a Mac thing.
