OK, Thanks to one of you guys, I have some nice, 'new' springs to put on
my '88. Now, since the shocks are old, I figure while I have the springs
off, might as well replace them! We had this discussion last summer, but
I never got to it.
Now, a few of you have told me to use Konis. I paid $600 for the car.
The best price I can get on the Konis is $107 each! That's 2/3 of what
the car cost!
Bilsteins are just as bad. And Tokico Illuminas aren't any better
pricewise. So, here's my options. I used to work at a CarQuest, and they
still like me there, so I can get KYB Gr-2s <$40 each. That makes my
cost <$160 all the way around. The Konis look like >$400, and the
Illuminas are the same. I haven't gotten pricing for the standard
Tokicos yet. KYB AGX don't seem to be available for this car.
Bearing in mind I would go UP TO $300, anybody have any ideas for a good
shock in this range, or where I can get the mentioned items for this
price? I'm going nutz on Google, and keep coming up within $$$ of each
other.
IIRC, someone here mentioned the Konis were about $75 each somewhere...
