That sucks man, mine cost like $50 from the best muffler shop I could find in town.

Here is where I'm at on these rear shocks...

I solved my dilemma of being able to pay for those rear Grooved Bilstein rear shocks the way I want (with paypal) so that I can try rear coilovers in the future if I want to THANKS TO AEREON!!! I called stangsuspension like you said, and becaue they are a MM dealer they were able to provide me those shocks at just around $10 more than MM (but I can use my paypal).

So that should be PROBLEM SOLVED, Right? Well, then out of nowhere I get a response from this guy Norm on a thread I started on the best bang for your buck shocks, and he says, have you considered Koni Str.T? He said they are quite comparable to the Bilsteins, and are half the price (actually close to 1/3 of the price if I get the grooved Bilsteins).

So I called Stranoparts.com and talked for a while with the owner who felt that I could get by very nicely with Koni STR.T's. However, he also said that if I wanted to pay around the same thing I would be paying for Bilsteins that I could get the Koni Sports that are ADJUSTABLE! He said on their softest setting that they are about the same as the Koni STR's, but if I ever wanted to try out a stiffer shock that I'd have that option. And I do plan on going to a racing school next summer on a former Nascar racing track. So that would be nice to have for that.

So what do you guys think? Do you get what you pay for and the Bilstein HD's will cover me. Do I go for the STR's in hopes that at the lower price I will be comparable to the Bilstein. Or do I get an adjustable Shock at the same price?

Any input would help so much, because if it weren't for Norm and his awesome money saving idea I'd have a pair of grooved Bilsteins in my Stangsuspension shopping cart right now!

I've never seen someone be like this about suspension.

Yeah I wouldn't even be messing with the suspension at this point. But it's not my car, nor do I have a modern mustang anyways...

It's just its the first upgrade part I'm putting on my car and I want to get the right ones.

Also, my shocks are very badly worn out. I was driving down a road with drainage dips at intersections today and it banged SO hard on every single one.

It's something I really have to address, and I'd hate to waste the money on parts that don't do the job.

Id say buy a tuner.

I think its just the overly dramatic thread titles that are irritating.

Sorry. I'm still new.

It's worked for me though. Most posts I research to find out info on these things seem to only have 4-10 responses.

Hope I'm not bothering people.
