After two years on the Tein S-Tech springs, the shocks on our car are rattling like a mofo going over bumps now. I initially thought it was a tie rod end or a ball joint, but I had the car on a lift and everything checked out fine. Anyway.....
I was initially going to go with Bilstein shocks/struts, but they're only available in the touring for stock ride height. So I'm back to the drawing board here. I'm looking for a performance minded shock that's meant for lowered cars, and I'm not coming up with a whole lot. Coil Overs are NOT an option right now. Too much money. So, what are you guys using? --------------------  |

since you have a 99, you'll need to buy the whole shock, not just the insert. aka, yours are sealed.
