I have a 2/4 drop and it was done in '02. At that time, Toxic Shox were installed. After about 120K miles, it's time to replace 'em. So, I asked some time back about which shocks to get. I was thinking about KYB's, but I didn't want to waste money. Someone on here said they were running Bilstein's, so I gave that some thought. Last week, I received my shocks from www.shockwarehouse.com. It is a set of Bilsteins that I will have installed tomorrow. The guy I spoke with recommended these and they are labeled as heavy duty for lowered suspensions. While not inexpensive at $265 for the set, they're cheaper than Edelbrock shocks would have been. The set of 4 is only about $40 more than a set of KYB's would have been.

BTW, who did the step eliminator? That's something I'd like to do to mine.
