Shocks Info Thread

Okay for all you out there that have aftermarket shocks on your USDM fits please let us know what kind they are and where you got them. I'm sure there are a ton of people interested in finding replacements and I know there are a few threads for individual manufactures but lets get them all in one place. I know the JDM shocks require slight modification to fit the USDM models but where do we get the JDM shocks from and how hard is the mod? I figure you can use the format below....

Type/Company:

Adjustable: Yes/No

Cost:

Nice thread- I hope to see a good collection of replies based on available hardware. I'll add rear air shock detailed review when I get more experience with them.

Well i just got off the phone with Ground Controls and they told me that they are developing a coilover kit that will include Koni dampers. No word on price or expected delivery date but should be later on this year. For now they do have the conversion kit avail. for $429.00 and that will fit the stock shocks and adjust to 2.5 inches. I know this isn't completely about shocks but i figure i'd throw it in here...
