safety is more important than anything else dude. for yourself and everyother road user (like me) get shorter shocks. having said that im driving around with cheapie tires. came with the rims,but will look into upgrading when these wear out.

get some monroe gt gas struts, will only set you back maybe $130 pair

hey mate i just bought monroe gt sport shocks there mad to go with king springs. the rears r shorten shocks to i have only got them in the back so far and it made a hell of a difference, i paid 120 for the rear pair, and 120 each for the fronts, that was at repco but he said after a certian date the fornts went up to 150 each i think so i got in quick.

[goldencommodore]

any one able to find me a step by step guide on how to install the front struts.

[johnvtls1]

thats a pretty good price mate. was size kings are u running? Has it made the ride less bouncy?

I suggest you discuss this with Greg from GSL Rallysport. He has a sponsors section on this forum.
