I hope that by doing this my car which has Eibach's sport line springs (that lowered my over 2 inches) will some what raise my car a little or at least not be so "bumpy". On the other hand doesn't a car need to get the shocks and struts replaced after 50,000 + miles? Oh yeah what do you guys think of the price for the 6piece kit (shocks,struts,quad's) $309.95 from Texas Mustang the kits is KYB.

Also I just did my shocks awhile ago, at about 55000 or so and the quad shocks were shot. but you can usually tell when you're driving if the shocks need to be replaced. i'm not too sure how kyb's will be as far as performance...... <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>bunchmyfunky</b> <br /><small>Member # 360</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2002,3,12,13,21,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Put the KYB's in it will help alot.
