I've got a few questions, first, what's the performance difference between the two rear shocks you show?

Second, I heard a nasty rumor that KYB advises against lowering cars equipped with their shocks. Is there any truth to that? I probably will lower at same time shocks are installed and that little tid-bit brought all my plans to a screeching halt.

Third, do we have to wait until enough people have shown interest (to get the MOST EXCELLENT price you quoted) or can we contact you for ordering now? (I needed new shocks like, last week. Driver-training abuse has finally caught-up with us and Miss Ruby is not happy.)

These shocks were, by far, the most significant modification to my suspension that I have made. And I did the whole thing: bigger sway bars front and rear, Eibach's, strut-tower bar.

You will like them!

Tires sold, waiting for $$$ to show up... also picked up a set of Eibach springs!
Anyone know what bushings to use if I can scratch up enough $$ to buy?
I'd go with bigger sway bars if my budget wasn't so streched

The deal is still good.

These are for Euro spec cars, (lowered), as well as stock, ... which means they will work on lowered cars.

They can be ordered at any time, on set at a time.

There is no trimming or changes required. Direct replacement.

They will be drop-shipped right to your door.

r.stockum@cox.net is how you contact me to buy them.

Thanks for the questions! ... Bob

Bob, are the rear shocks you offer GR-2's(silver boby) or the Gas-A-Just (white body)?
