Well, the time has come for me to get new shocks and struts and I can spend maybe up to like 400ish. I saw that summit has the KYB AGX shocks for 90 and the struts for 110 each. So thats 400 dollars. And the AGX's are good huh? I found the agx full set for like 330 on ebay, and some tokicos pretty too. Anyone by there shocks and struts from ebay?

I went with QA1 adjustables on the rear. Awesome and high quality. Just changing these shocks my 60' went from 2.01-2.10 to 1.81 and back up with 1.83. I'll be using them in front as well.

I got the Tokico Illuma's for $420. Best mod I got so far. I have them set to 4 out of 5 and it is still civil. No nose dive and it corners like its on rails.

KYB's are a great choice for how cheap they are. They also have a warranty on them.

Got mine from eBay as well and love them. Firm but not too harsh over bumps.

every box i opened came with a warranty stating that if anything went wrong wrong (like wearing down) they were covered. Ihad them on my last GT

Edit - of course I would choose bilsteins over KYB but like i said, they are a cheap alternative.
