Well according to what I quoted above between the differences of Gas-a-just and GR2, the GR2 are basically what you're describing. Can a person even get the DeCarbons for our car? I assume they'd be better than the GR2s, well that's only because the DeCarbons are Italian lol

He can work with you, tell him you are on a budget.

Actually they are french
For $200 I don't think you are going to get anything worth while. You should probably save for some strano spec bilstiens.

Yeah 200 is kind of a low budget. I would seek out Sam Strano if I were you to see if he even has a shock recommendation for that range. I don't ever recall him mentioning anything.

It's a low budget mainly because I don't even have the money to replace them, but it's going to start turning into an upkeep requirement soon. I'm pretty sure the front left has been leaking for awhile, as it was the only one that was covered in grease :\

I might email Sam, but calling someone of his reputation and asking him what he'd be able to do for such little money is kind of embarassing lol

Also yes, French, my bad :\ Was late when I was trying to think of who made them. Range Rover uses/used them though so that must count for something! And that GM thought them to be decent enough to be put in the F-Body.

It won't hurt to ask. I'd be interested anyway. He might just say you'd be better off with the stockers over any 200 dollar set options, but I don't know.
