That sucks, I'd talk to GM about a possible warranty, although I have seen others complaining about that...

You can buy some take off shocks from GM for like 15 bucks a piece. They are the exact ones that came on it stock...Mine when out in 3 months after I lowered the car. I guess you get what u pay for....

The front ones dont seem to have any wear at all, so 25 bucks for some new rear ones looks good <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> thanks guys. Are these hard to install? Looks like care, one bolt and a bracket if im not mistaken...
