Default Savings....

This may be a dupe but there's two pretty good deals going on now....
KYB Shocks - offering $40.00 rebate on set of 4 (including Gas-adjust) which brings down the price for a set of 4 to $82.68 (includes free ship) thru ShockWarehouse. (KYB Rebate ends April 30, 2016)
Mobil 1 - Walmart reduced prices on 5 qt gallon jug of Mobil 1
Plus Mobil 1 has has $15 rebate with purchase of five quarts of Mobil 1™ synthetic motor oil and a Mobil 1™ Extended Performance Oil Filter; $12 rebate with purchase of five quarts of Mobil 1 synthetic motor oil
$10 rebate with purchase of five quarts of Mobil Super™ Synthetic motor oil. (Rebate ends May 31, 2016)
https://mobiloil.com/en/promotion/mo...nd-mobil-super
Although Mobil doesn't specifically state Walmart is a participating store, they have always given the rebate when purchased thru Walmart.

Bumping this back up. Completely re-doing the suspension on my '84; shocks (original) were completely shot.

Shockwarehouse has the complete set of KYB Gasadjust's for $115.94 w/ Free shipping. I ordered them yesterday and should get them sometime this week. <$76 after rebate is a good deal

Update: ordered shocks from shockwarehouse. Order stuck at 'processed'. Called them 3 times this morning, keeps going to voicemail, "All their rep's are busy" then it hangs up on you. Got ahold of them on their online chat thing, said they have a big KYB shipment coming in today and the shocks will go out tomorrow. . .

Researched the company a bit, looks like this is a typical MO. I'm not worried because I have 120 days to dispute the charge with discover, but it appears I will probably be waiting a long time; I'll update tomorrow if the shocks actually get shipped out.

Thanks! I just ordered a set of KYB's just the other day. After this rebate the total cost will be just over $100.
And just did an oil change using Mobil Synthetic. Winner winner chicken dinner.

They said the exact same thing to me about my Bilstein order for my old Dodge PU way back in 2010.

Yes they did, took a while though if I remember correctly. I now use shockwarehouse for part numbers and then source the shocks elsewhere. When I replaced the bilsteins on the Vette back in 2012 Wilcox had the best pricing.
