I've been searching around but since you made a thread. How do you know your shocks are dead?

Not many options to go with:

1. Bilstein HD - new - difficult to find in stock
2. Used Bilsteins off an MR - even if worn, can be rebuilt by Bilstein
3. Used KYB (this is your OEM strut for non-MRs) - can be had very cheap, YMMV
4. New MR Bilsteins - $$$
5. New KYB - $$$

I have a stock set with 30k miles or so if that's something you'd be interested in.

^^^^^


BTW, if you have KYB struts and shocks, they are very stiff. This shouldn't be confused with being shot. These are rally cars and everyone thinks they should ride like Buicks.
