are those H1 and H2's a good deal then?Originally Posted by Ldub
Jolly Roger hit the nail on the head...
Those you found on ebay are KYB, but not close to the same performance as OEM.
Bilstiens or Ranchos are the closest match in performance to OEM.

how will i tel lif my shocks are bad? been 7 years since i have delt with anything other than my formulas shocks which are a dime a dozen

More then likely the shocks are fine. If the VX feels like a pogo stick when you hit a bump that’s a sign there bad, if it just breaks your spine then that’s normal. I’d put the money in to a nice custom exhaust system if it doesn’t have one already.
Cars designed by spreadsheets make sense. Cars designed by engineers make history.

yea i feel the bumps haha so i guess i will keep my shocks the way they are... exhaust will have to wait till next summer

Keep you're eyes peeled for used OEM shocks on ebay & on the forums.
You will probably have to pick up a couple of sets to get four good ones that are worth rebuilding. I've never bought a used set that didn't have at least one that was toast.

yea i will be at the dealership to get my brakes checked out... i will look at the shocks as well... just what will i need to look for?
well than my question is... Other than the stock shocks are the bilstiens a good replacement?

The "bounce test" is a good indicator, also any sign of oil leakage.

Yupe, I bought a used set from a member here for $100, and shipped them to Bruce's Suspension for $30 who will totally rebuild them for $500 add to that $30 shipping to get them back and I am looking at $660 or so for 4 totally rebuilt Stock VX shocks, $165 per shock, I think I would pay that for the VX stock shocks, wooohooo!!!!!
