Why not order the "4th gens?" On car adjustable with a **** is priceless.

Geez... he didn't ask for 4th gens. I happen to use 3rd gens on my own car, fwiw. There are reasons to use other than 4th gen shocks you know..... I'm not going to get into them here because someone will take the info and run with it.

They run about $105 a shock. Maybe not the cheapest, but as Alchemist said my pricing is quite competitive, and I actually use the product and drive the cars too. What is good information worth? $5 extra? 10?

Cheap has different meanings. One is "low in cost". Others are "low in worth, despicable, and stingy."

why not the 4th gens? because i don't graduate until december, and i don't have wads of money shooting out my ***....yet. not to mention christmas is closing in.

sam,
105 a shock, that is right up my alley. let me get this straight, the 4th gen konis adjust on car with a ****, and the 3rd gens you have to take off and twist the shaft or something, right? the adjustment doesn't bother me, i don't get to do anything cool with my car yet anyway. i just drive back and forth to school and to my fiancee's. so i'm sure they'd work perfectly for me for the time being.
oh yeah, can you pm me with total shipped to 75901.

many thanks,
josh

You'd be looking about $225 or so shipped and insured. I really can't tell you for sure without a full address, but it'll be within a few bucks of that either way.

You are correct about the differences. Other thing is the 3rd gen has only 4 pre-set adjustments @ given force levels, the 4th gen has no pre-sets so it's more fine-tuneable. I'm sorry that I have to keep the force levels quiet, I need something to protect my knowledge. Happy to tell any customers of mine what the exact details are.....
