Front Struts/ rear shocks 1978 131

[131mania]

Hello everyone,
I am in the USA. I have a 2 door 1978 131. I am looking for part numbers for Koni, Boge, KYB, front struts. I am having a very hard time finding front struts for my car. I would rather replace with non original fiat struts.

Also if anyone knows parts numbers for good rear shocks. I would appreciate it.

Front Koni adjustables are discontinued so not avaliable to buy new anymore but you can still buy the rear koni adjustable shocks

I got a set of yellow Koni struts off Ebay from the US about 6 years ago, I haven't found them new since. I recently bought a set of yellow Koni rears from summit racing in the US, they're the same as 124 coupe/spider fronts. They were on sale too, even with freight to OZ they were a good price. I've got a set of Boge struts I removed to fit the Konis, they've only done 3000kms, freight would be a killer though.
