    i dont have experience with them.. but i was at a shop asking about the remote adjustment.. the guy said that 16 out of 17 remote kits they sold came back because they leaked and the settings would drop on their own after a couple days

    They are easy to adjust providing you install them correctly where the adjusting knob is exposed. And with out ground clearance, it is a piece of cake to get to them to adjust. Now, if only the rear top mount bolt was as easy. Unless your into alot of abuse and know a bunch of bad words, pay someone the 30 bucks to install the rear ones. The hardest part about the fronts are compressing the hi-pressure OEM's enough to get them out, so maybe you will want to pay someone to do the fronts too.

    Finally found them at a local burt brothers... they are ordering from some warehouse and quoted me a total cost of $600, $199 for the parts (seems super low) and $400 for the labor (seems about 4x to high)...

    Going in person today to see if I can just order the parts at $199 and walk away with them...

    Not to put a damper on that price, But I paid Les Schwab 28 dollars install price for the rears, I had done the fronts. Real pain in the,.... Now, I had also just spent about 2500.00 or so for wheels and tires and made friends with the guys with donuts on a saturday morning, but...........400 bucks labor is OUTRAGOUS!!! unless your getting alignment, 912 installed what have you. Isn't Les Schwab in Utah???

    I paid about $250-300 in labor to have all 4 installed, and we're talking Los Angeles prices.
