There is only a $10 price difference between the entire assembly or the shock insert. Might as well take the entire assembly for that price, IMHO.

I just got done doing the same setup on my car yesterday. Love the feel, of course the old struts were so shot and rattly that anything would be an improvement. I thought the ride was going to be harsh but so far it's been great.
On the down side I think I'm going to have to get the camber kit for at least the back. For some reason I thought that it was only going to drop the car an inch and that I wouldn't have any problems with rear camber. I'll be taking it to the shop for an alignment tomorrow and see what they say. The drop doesn't seem like too much though. With 17" rims it feels like it put the car back down where it was before. |

after my drop with the same set up I didn't notice any camber difference? I only have 15's so i suppose that would come into play

I just got a call from the shop that they are done with the car. No problem setting the camber. It just needed some toe in changes front and back. I guess we'll see when I pick it up.
