I guess you would call it the 4/4 package since both the front and rear shocks are adjustable "on-car." Sam's 4/4 package are single adjustable front and rear shocks, my fronts are double-adjustable. Some people recommend these and some don't but I got a good deal on them so I went with them. I ordered my rear Koni's and springs from Sam. As mentioned above, if you are planning to buy any components from him, give him a call first and he will give you some recommendations.

As requested above I finally got to gather my reciepts and post up how much my full suspension rebuild and upgrade cost. Well it was not cheap and seeing the figured added up is a bit shocking. However seeing that none of it should need any attention for a long time I like to call it a wise investment. Below is the full breakdown.
Front Suspension
Koni Double Adj. Struts - Ebay $324.98
Moog Upper Control Arm Bushings $24.99 O’Reilly Auto Parts X 2 = $49.98
Moog Lower Control Arm Bushings $32.99 O’Reilly Auto Parts X 2 = $65.98
Spicer Upper Ball Joints $57.03 A-Line Auto Parts X 2 = $114.06
Spicer Lower Ball Joints $28.04 A-Line Auto Parts X 2 = $56.08
Strut-Mate Upper Strut Mounts $70.99 O’Reilly Auto Parts X 2 = $141.98
Strano Lowering Springs (Front and Rear) $275.00
Energy Suspension Sway Bar Bushings – Summit Racing $9.95
Energy Suspension End Link Kit – Summit Racing $15.39
Bushing and Ball Joint Press In & Rotor Turning Labor – ER Automotive $125.00

Rear Suspension
