Question Now..which shocks???????

Well now I am in the market for new shocks, since I want to get my pro kit spings on asap . I was thinking of getting the kyb agx (adjustable) shocks, but after doing a search on this board, I didn't find to many good reviews for them. So I am thinking of going with the bilsteins. I don't have alot of money, but was thinking of going for the revalved ones (depeding of price) from strano. Is there really that much of a difference between the hd's and the revalved ones? I didn't want to wait very long, but if there is that much of a difference, and it is worth the wait, then I will. Any insight is greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Greg

Basically what Strano told me was that stock Bilstiens are valved for the stock spring rates, the revalved units are setup for the Pro Kit.

Made sense so I went with the revalved shocks.

They aint cheap... but they're a quality shock.

Cool

Ya, I called Strano's tech line, and talked to someone. I beleive it was his dad. He said the reg. bilsteins will be great and if I wanted to I could get them revalved. So I ordered the hd bilsteins.

Thanks for the replies.

P.S. Oh, ya, I also got the bilstiens cheaper the the kyb agx's, which I was going to origally get :O !! But thanks to you guys, and talking to Strano, my mind has changed .
