replacing shocks

I am trying to find an inexpensive way to replace the shocks (especially the rear) on my '87 GXL.
191,000 miles on the original shocks, and they're really bad !!
thanks for any suggestions you can give.
-Eric

How much are you willing to spend??? You could get a descent set of aftermarket ones for around $400 probably if you looked around. If you really dont care about that and just need new ones now for real cheap, could take it to Minake or some place like that, that would be the cheapest way to go.

If price is a concern, the best way to go is the Tokico non-adjustable. These work really well, are better than stock, and are pretty inexpensive.

About $70 each for the rear.
About $115 each for the front.

Is that k2rd.com?



$355! That's a seriously good price for a set of shocks, especially adjustable ones.
