Thanks Ricky for taping ALL these for us!!

My one looks beautiful even better than the one you had on your own car!

Thanks Ricky!

ET, my shocks are in pretty nasty situations in these few weeks.
Now actually the chassis absorbing the shocks from the road but not the suspension.

So i am saving money now for the new shocks and thinking which to get. (Looking for cheap option)
So how much is your KONI cost?

When i test drove your car last time, the Koni wasnt the sportiest suspensions around but it definitely absorbs the road noises and the vibration.
Which is what i want

Actually I wasn't the big contributor, Ricky is. Please give him a round of applaud. Now I am happy to see everybody is happy with it. Just look much sportier than before.

it costs about $6.5k. this is exactly what I want, cheaper shocks which do the job of absortion but still kinda sporty.
so far no regret.

strictly speaking, It's the springs that absorb vibration, the shocks are dampers.

From how u described it and how it braked last time I drove it, I would do it sooner rather than later and I would buy set of springs and shocks rather than mix and match
