SLP Bilsteins, question. My car is approaching 70,000 miles and it's riding pretty rough. I'm sure the suspension is damn near worn out now and I need to replace some of it. I've heard SLP bilstein shocks are the best replacement ones to go with. So I guess my question is, can I just buy the shocks? I saw a set of 4 for $379.99. Do I need anything else when replacing them?
Slp bilstein aren't the best but they are probably the best replacement shock. I just put mine on last week and I love the improvement it made for me. The ride is so much more comfortable. As far as best shock, I hear koni is great for the adjustability. I just dont need that right now.
konis could be the best but is just to much for shocks,
my car has 127k miles on stock shocks im going with bilstein, imo are the only way to go..
unless you have enough money, buy konis,,

Dude you got to read up more on your car, its hard to follow you and help when you don't know what your talking about fully. This site alone has a massive amount of knowledge just clicks away. Don't be that guy who just keeps taking the lazy post a thread way to find information that's been recycled constantly on this site alone.
Clickity click click click!
And I'm not trying to be a douche, I just feel for the guys who put time and effort into tutorial threads for questions just like this. Before I went when my spring/strut setup I had over 5 windows open reading tech threads about setups and whatnot, and like everyone else most of this stuff is on a budget!

if everything comes apart like its supposed to, the shocks are all you need. if the front mounts are rusted to hell or torn up you may need to replace them. you won't know until you take it apart.
Of course they aren't around this forum for help and advice... and my price isn't exactly out of line.
