Koni Yellows are about 500-550 a set of 4

Im lookin into KYB GR-2s they are only about 50 each at nopi, plus we can get them at work, so i can get a discount...sweet

I'd get Tokicos. Something like $80-100/shock.

GR2s are good cheap shocks. I've had mine on for a couple of months, it helps the lowered ride a bit, and they take a lot of **** from potholes and keep on working...

its not that they are more expensive that makes them better. its the fact that they ride better, dont cost that much more, and they will most likely last longer. Why spend alittle less money to get alot less in return?
In my opinion its better to do it right the first time, rather than replace what youve done with the right stuff later. by spending more once, your saving money later.
Just my opinion:thumbup:
