Default FX-3 Replacement Shocks- Any Available?

I am looking to replace my FX3 shocks, with either Koni's, or another brand of adjustables. Does anyone know of another source for shocks compatible with the FX3 actuators? Or, should I just remove the FX# and put in the Koni's or Qa-1's? Let me know what you think...
Thanks in advance,..

Chris

Rumor has it that Bilstein rebuilds those shocks. I have not heard of other companies offering FX3 models.

They do, but I do not yet know the cost. I have heard it is close to what I can buy them for from some places on the net. Thanks for the reply

I bopught my rears shocks (Bilstein) from Mid-America for way too much $! They are about $40 per shock cheaper at www.eshocks.com I need fronts and that's where I am going to get them from. Hope you search goes well, my $0.02 anyway!
