Shocks needed

I am in need of shocks. I don't need to spend $250 per corner but I would like something better than stock. I would like to spend $400-$500 on a set of 4. What are my options. Thank's

Phil

Re: Shocks needed

For that budget I would get Tociko Illuminas or some Koni Reds, you may end up spending a little more for those though.

Re: Shocks needed

I agree with 2.8RS. Or, if you can wait, I'd save a little more and go with the KONI Yellows.

Re: Shocks needed

It really has nothing to do with saving the extra money to afford something better. This car is for my wife to drive to work when it is nice out and I don't feal the need to put alot of money into things that she won't even notice. For the 2 times a year I will drive the thing I would like to have something on it better than the crap you get at walmart.

Re: Shocks needed

In that case, shoot for the Tokicos or the Reds. You'll appreciate them at least.

Re: Shocks needed

If it's only for that reason then the KYB GR2s will do the job just fine.
