Nice looking shocks. I ordered Bilsteins from eshocks a few years ago. They were pretty cheap and had no issues at all with them. I wouldn't mind having a set at that price if the guinea pig gives em a thumbs up!! :)

Try out FOX shocks, they are awesome and very good shocks for the price, for a set of 12"-2.0 smooth body...I can get them for $275 for 2 of them, but they have no reservoir and for about $380 with the reservoir. I think they are better shocks to run than any other ones far as the cost for them is about the same as them edelbrock shocks, they are great shocks too, but go FOX shocks. They are located on eBay and the seller is located in California, but don't worry, the shipping is FREE!! Here is the link directly to the eBay store.....http://stores.ebay.com/Downsouth-Motors ... idZ2QQtZkm

This is where I got my kings for the race car. Very good service!! I just called him (his # is on his e-bay store). He did a bunch of research for me on valving my coil-over as a "coil-carrier" among other things. Still the best price I could find! I Highly recomend this guy!

Broke my shock on one side today. 24" long extended. Need some help finding a replacement set. Limiting straps seem like a good idea. Was a fun jump tho, lol.

I'm going to take it to my shop tomorrow, see what I can do. Wish I had a mig. Might be a bit thin for stick welding.
