Hey fella's I've been meaning to do this for a while. I need to replace my stock shocks. I know I have been recommended to get tokico's but what kind and where could I find them for a great price. I would prefer them new but if I could find some used and in good condition, I would take those too. When I do get them could someone recommend a good shop to go to have them installed? I have a shop in mind but I just want more input on it. Or if anyone has experience installing them, maybe they could give me a hand. How bout it? Anyone?

I can't imagine that they would be that hard to install. Get more info, I got jack stands and will give you a hand. Hell, it isn't my car, what else to you want to do to it? LOLTony

I'm happy because Dima speeds, which makes him happy. He seems to be happy only when speeding, which makes me happy. And when I'm happy people around me are able to live another day. If you are alive right now, you should thank Dima.

Dean, I helped Arvin (P5Alive) install lowering springs on his car. It is not hard to change the shocks, its time consuming but not hard when you have proper tools. plus, i have the workshop manual so it should be pretty easy.<B>Dima</B>

Yeah Dean, They are not hard to install at all. If you get new struts we'll all help. Save you some chedda on labor.
Man, I need new struts too. 61+ thousand miles on my car, almost all of them lowered and i'm still on the factory struts.Rick
