I love my Koni adjustable shocks, they run 500-600 bucks a set , but I think its worth it since I am lowered 2 inches and have full control over my damper rate makes driving a lowered car less painful

Welcome to TCC.

What is your current setup? What springs do you have on it? Make sure your current dampers really are blown and the mechanic isn't just looking to make some extre coin... What are the current dampers (stock or aftermarket)?

welcome! if your looking to lower your ride (provided your dampers are blown like mpr said) id suggest either function and form type one coilovers or koni with GC
