Shocks???

I have a 98 with active handling. What is the price i should pay for shocks - im getting anywhere from $500 to $800 a piece. Is this correct?
Can i just put regular shocks without the electronics?
Thanks, dave

You have a '98. I am not too sure about this, but I don't think you have the F45 suspension. I know for a fact that you don't have the F55Magnetic Selective Ride shocks (the $500-$800 shocks you probably heard about) I wouldn't think new shocks for a '98 would be that expensive if you don't have either the F45 or F55 shocks

Yea if you got F45 shocks they are expensive, I know I used to have them on my Vette and now I have Koni FSDs. Some other options are C5Z shocks, Bilstens and there are others
