Just a shot in the dark but went with the KYB Monomax shocks in the end, these have been fitted and I am very pleased with the results! Pls bear in mind these are for the streets of LA [potholes] and so far all is well.

This leaves me with the four stockers, three of which are okay - one of the fronts is bad. If anyone is interested in these four stock shocks they have 47K miles on them but again three are okay. Asking $50 plus UPS shipping for all four stock shocks, I am in California and can accept Paypal if anyone is interested... thx, Vis
