yea im waiting up on Rms! if your car is lowered avoid buying these shitty tokico shocks i got, there not supporting my springs as well as i thought they would. if your on a budget look for KYB AGX shocks or go all out with some Koni's
or if u want i got some decarbons with like 6k miles on them removed from a 02 SS

Budget = KYB AGX
No budget = Koni SA

Look in the Suspension & Brakes forum for more info...

If you get lowering springs, go for Strano's, and get revalved shocks (for lowered cars) like Bilsteins (non-adjustable) or Koni's (adjustable). Again, make sure they're revalved for the lowering springs otherwise if you buy the regular models they will likely not last very long compared to the revalved units. AFAIK KYB AGX's are not recommended for lowered cars...
