I'm in the market for some new shocks. I'm looking @ KYB Gas shocks. I only know 2 kinds of shocks, KYB's & Tokico's. Are there any other good brands out there?

So I've got a quote: for roughly $600, I can get a set of all 4 KYB gas shocks/struts + install. The shop that's doing it is very reputable...if anyone's from MD they'll know...AEX Cinema. Good price? Thanks ahead of time.

^ confused.gif How much are they charging for install? Kyb's arent that expensive so the labor charge has to be through the roof. Dude..... if you take that money, and add 50 dollars then you have koni's. (the best) then you could install them yourself follow john's kick butt how to article. its easy. trust me.
