I need new dampners front and rear and want something a little better than stock. Anyone know the options out there to fit the SA strut tube?

I just put in KYB GR2 shocks with racing beat springs. Its awesome...way better than the 20 year old tired shocks i had in their before. Also i think blackdragon sells KYB gas a just shocks....bit stiffer than the gr2's.

Tokico illuminas or HPs.

If you don't mind spending lots of money, I've seen Koni kits out there.

I thought i read something about illuminas not being made for the SA strut tube anymore. I don't want to modify the tube .

At this price it doesn't matter if they have been sitting for 10+ years and you need to sit them up for a couple days prior to install. I got a couple for the front and they are pretty stiff.
