Need new Shocks, recommendations?

Hey Guys,
Looks like I need new shocks cuz stocks are gone. So, I need some recommendations now, I'm thinking of the koni red, but not too sure. I just want something that will make my ride more comfortable and won't kill my wallet. So let the suggestions appear!

Thanks in Advance,
D-T

If you're not into performance at all, I'd recommend the KYB GR2's cause they're cheap. If you want something a little better, go with the Tokico Premium. For adjustable shocks, I'd recommend the Tokico Illumina or Koni Yellow.

In response to:

'How much do those run for?'

USD$340.00 (CAD$530.00) @ www.coximport.com

Hint: use UPS or FedEx. *Do not do use USPS*. PM me for details.

I have been told that Canadian distributors place a premium on AGXs. Don't know why. During extensive research, the cheapest I was quoted was CAD$750.00. Made the *** deal a good one.

They are now in Hamilton. I should get them today or early tomorrow. As soon as I know the final cost, I'll post with all the particulars of this never ending story

UPS will rape you for brokerage fees ($30-50). Fedex is better. I like to use USPS. Canada Post only charges $5 for the brokerage fee, and I haven't had anything lost before.

This is true. I don't know why either.

adjustables or non?

do u want adjustables or non adjustables?
if u want adj.'s kyb agx's are the best buy. i chose them.
if u want non-adj's, gr2 or tokico blues are good too..
if u've got $$$ then koni's are the best red or yellow, they're best
Prices: (in the GTA, pick up for all 4)
kyb agx's are $700-750
kyb gr2's are around $500-550
