how are the shocks? usually just replacing tired shocks gets rid of that problem. if it's better, but still not totally gone, replace the springs too. if it's still bottoming out you just drive too fast.. *wink*

I am having the same prob with mine after i put in 2 sets of replacements. I tried a bunch of shocks and now I am sure it is the springs. I have moog performance coils and I HATE them. They are garbage! I am going to either go with the FE2 springs that are original or I am going to get the Eibach lowering set. I have seen pics and they don't lower much!

About ho much do new shocks cost (just for the front I assume)? Also how hard are they to install? How about the springs?
