I don't know guys, when I asked the same questions here, I was warned away from the AGX shocks and then yelled at when I said I was still going for them. I shoulda listened, everybody was right, they sucked and both went bad. Warrenty? For what another pair of these POS shocks?

I go the eibach pro kit, the agx's (front and rear adjustables), and the umi on car adjustable panhard bar with the polyurethane bushings for 725.65 to my front door.

I ordered everything from summit racing. The shocks were only 364.67 The springs I got from summit were only 209.99, and the panhard bar was 139.99. I only paid 11.00 in shipping.

The bilsteins are also by far the cheapest there and they were 313.99 for all four from slp, and the part number is

sle-70008

I gave the part number because they are really hard to find on their web site and for some reason won't show up sometimes. I searched everywhere and I found the best deal there. If any one wants to order some stuff, I talked to Luther at ext 6251. He was really helpfull, and got me a good deal. He even searched the interetnet trying to find the price cheaper so he could price match the umi bar for me but he had the cheapest price.

That does suck. I have had them on mutiple cars now and have never had a problem, and loved the ride. I would call customer service if I remember right there customer sat. program will buy back there shocks for another brand.

KYB AGX are good shocks for the money and should do just fine for ya. As a side note the Bilsteins are NOT designed to be used with lowered suspension so I would recommend against them.

FYI
my bilsteins aren't holding up well with my Hotchkis springs. They are fine on smooth roads, but on bumps, I loose too much contact and the car feels unstable....my Cobra for some reason with Bilsteins and H&R rides like a champ over bumps.
