Thanks for the input, glad to hear ur opinion on the life of the shocks. This job has turned into a money pit though - $100 for springs, $200 to replace bushings, $65 for bushing bolts (available only from dealer), $20 on grease and antiseize = $385. But once it's done i can rest in the knowledge that my suspension is well taken care of (with the exeption of proper shocks )
