I went with the KYB's cause they were a little better price for me.. Half the price and the KYB's area real good shock.
I dont have a show car. I just want to be able to handle the curves a little better. and I think the KYB;s are just what the doctor ordered...

Im ordering a set of poly bushings this week. While I was doing the shocks I noticed the bushings were shot.. But I think thats it. and I think im done for now on the suspention..
