Why get a toyota? I pay less for my vette than others pay for their cars and they act like I spend too much money on my car.
Go KYB they are good shock. Little stiff for every day use but not too bad. Decent on the Auto-X track as well. With my Zeix (Falcon) tires and my KYB I could keep up with the Vipers. (Which isn't much because stock neons were faster)
$120 shipped to my door and installed in just a few hours. Go KYB you won't be disapointed.

are they the KYB gas-a-just or the AGX? The gas-a-just are a lot cheaper but will they ride noce or should I spend the money and get the AGX? :confused:

KYB
I put KYBs on my '94 so that I could send the Bilsteins off for a rebuild. The Bilsteins are still in the attic and I'm still enjoying the heck out of the KYBs. I've had them on interstate travel as well as on Road Atlanta and, for me, they've performed well, especially for the price.
Check Summit for good prices.

If you can afford them I keep hearing that Edelbrock IAS shocks totally transform the pre-FX C4's. That will be my next purchase come springtime.
