i baught them from shox.com because i saw them there for 339. it turns out that that price was wrong it was really 399. so because i was upset at this the best they could do was give me free shipping.

skunk in my opinion is cheap the spring rate is to low I have seen the kit on a mirage 01 some no name spring . I have a grond control on the front of my es works grate but have found that It too could use a step or to higher rate their kit comes 350 an inch front and I belive the rear was 250 an inch the rear will be bounces stock shocks canot keep up with the rate OZ shocke are a lttle better but still not enought ralliy art KYB I have not used but guess that they will be better yet .But back to the front spring rate If you plane to go really low up the front rate a bit to say 380 or 400 talk to ground control directly they now their stuff They have been racing for years and are and Ibac suplier no cheap crap .O and I still run the stock struts up front original ones that came with car when I bought it new so ground control do not blow struts people that run their car to low and not the right rate spring butom the strut are the cause of their strut blowing not the kit.If you buy crap you have crapand end up with worn out broken crap I have the money to buy the part one time .

If you can print the page saying $339 and they won't give you that price, call the dep of weights and measures and they will have to give you that price, or give it to you for free!

And I think shaggy is pro- full suspension kit, like me. Matching lowering springs to stock shocks is not the best way to go for handling, but if you ever add some nice shocks to your ground controls, you will have the same setup as many pro autocross racers.
