I'm hoping Ben can get them by April...I need some bad! Price I'm not sure, but I wouldn't be surprised to see them around $500-$700...

damn, at that price why not add a little more from your tax return
funds and get the EnduraTech c/o's? the dampness is non-adjustable but
the spring rates are linear and prefectly matched to the springs.

i mean that's expensive for just dampers if $700. D-specs were $500
shipped at an eBay store for my G and works tremendously well for that
heavy-ass car. $700+$150 to 250 or so for progressive rate springs...
you're in c/o territory.

Yeah but coils are usually pretty stiff. I had them before, just couldn't live with them

not the EnduraTechs.

much more comfy than running the DF210s with stock shocks.

i have the car setup at the same height as the DF210's but feels
like stock.... imagine that. i use to have to kinda brace myself over
larger bumps with the DF210's but with the EnduraTechs boom boom.
just like that. nothing. small bumps larger bumps no issue.

i really dont' want to spend too much for shocks. I would love to get decently priced adjustable shocks that won't put me near the price of coil-overs. I'm still waiting to see what's available out there...and if shocks become costly or aren't available anytime soon i may as well jump on some decent coil-overs.

i know what you mean
if they sell at normal price they would make more money that way
now they're just lagging their profits but over pricing these shocks

yah, imho, the lower-end solution (running springs and dampers) should
cost no more than $650 for the entire kit.

otherwise just spend the extra few hundred and do it the right way
running linear rate springs that are not harsh, adjustable height, and
matched dampers (EnduraTechs). makes more sense for the long run.

Alright, so it looks like a price is out for the Tokico shocks, but my shop here in Calgary decided to not call me back. Ran into them today at the autoshow and they will let me know tomorrow.

It's all BS. They called me back today and said that they never made a USDM shock, only JDM ones.
