Re: Springs and shocks

["Ben Rogowski" <bgr13@mn.rr.com>]

Bilsteins are the best all around shocks for the money.  Expect to pay $400
for a new set.  Lifetime warranty and outstanding quality.  I've decided to
try Koni's for my 16V, but I haven't yet driven on them so I can't give any
feed back.  I paid about $1100 for my Koni's and a coilover spring setup
from BSI, all told.
