Do you currently have FE4's or FG2's? If you already have the FG2's, I'd just replace with them. Upgrading to QA1's will require springs and sway bars to ties it all together, $1800-$2000. Upgrading to KW's with likely cost that amount also. If you have FE4's, upgrading to FG2's will cost much less than going with aftermarket ones.

I don't have the part numbers in front of me but the FG2s will have black dashed lines around the pink label.
