I need to buy new shocks....Koni, Bilstiens, Boge? I have a new set of KYBs except everyone says they aren't good (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) ?

So what is the best? And where do I get them? If I can get a used set, where can they be rebuilt?

Thanks

Steve

The site's search feature is your friend...this topic's been covered many times over. I just did a 700 mile drive on KYBs and thought they were brutal.

Probably the toughest question to answer without lots of info.
Shocks are THE BIGGEST bang for your buck after tires.

BEST????
Advance design double adjustable requiring lots of mods to use.
Koni (various levels) Custom, Full race, sport, and special and others.
Bilstien
Boge
KYB
