Default Looking to buy new shocks and struts for my 99 trans am

What the best in-expensive shocks and struts to buy to replce the worn out factory ones? The car has almost 140000 miles on it. What the least expensive adjustable shocks for the rear?

Are the kyb agxs any good? I was looking at them. The Konis look good but they are like $800 for the full set. Im not going to spend that much.

If you want to be around $400, you don't want to do AGX.... You want SLP Bilstein's which are *WAY* better built and better riding too.

I sell them for $384.99/set.

Well, if I can't completely convince you, I also sell KYB AGX's.... And Tokico... And Monroe.... And Koni (but those aren't near $400 a set).

Bilsteins rock and are a steal for 400$! I was very happy with them and eventually moved to Koni SA's which are even better.
