Shocker Prices and Spring suggestions

Hey all got a price through a friend for some shockers...
There were two, koni non adjustable (red) and koni adjustable (yellow) with the yellow ones being $750 for all four corners... Is that a good price or what? my friend was shocked at how cheap... but that's just a shock not springs aswell.. the springs were $150 for all four (king springs) but they are non progressive rate at the front but progressive rate for the rear...
So basically is that a good price for the konis? and are the yellows worth the extra than the red for a at the moment street car? (i don't know but i imagine the reds would be more adjustable on a alignment thingie) and is that a good price for the yellows?.
And about the springs... are king springs good? especially for that price? also what do you all suggest for using with these shocks?
Grant.

if the yellows are coilovers then theses arnt the ones...
I just remember Koni had 3 shockers listed and only two available for the AE86.
(the lower two) which what my friend at his work (car auto place) said were the yellow and the reds... he also priced up a set of king springs for $150 all round.
If you're in melb I can hook ya up yes. I dunno how much it would cost to ship interstate though, I don't know how much shockers weigh.

!!!UPDATE!!!
yeah, i was serious those 19 months ago(gee wizz, 19 months...) i got my car back from the workshop on wednesday
had new shockers fitted, koni red all corners. now my car doesn't bounce around or bottom out anymore. it took a good long while to get them but it was worth it.
i also got me bearings and brakes replaced, now no more grinding screeching noise when i drive around, only a loud clacking from the busted driveshaft. that's next on my to do list. hopefully it wont take another 19 months.

well, unlike some i don't have any connections or know anyone in the auto parts industry, i just know the blokes at the shop. he's word is all i have to trust. if he quotes a price, then that's what it costs. it would have been sweet to pay 900 and get the whole lot done but that wasn't an option. during those 19 months i did do alot of research and fising for prices and always got the same answer.
you're just extremely fortunate i guess, 7M-Brisbane. us clowns don't have a clue where to ask for mates rates so we have to settle for retail.

Anyone have any idea how much adjustables are for a MX73 Cressida?
I got a quote for $400 a pair of rear Koni Yellows from Cartoys, that a good price? I have heard that the MK2 shocks are interchangable with MX73's, is this just for US and Jap spec Cressies?
