Bilsteins or KYB were what I was looking at next.

I'd use these if he says the ride is smoother with them than the O.E. ones.

It allows you to fine tune your launches.
Not too sure how they would be for everyday use though.
When I had my 93 GT I use to have the orange Koni adjustable shocks. They were a great shock, but not all that cheap.

If you got them at Cutten for 50 bucks a pop then they are prolly a retail at 40! haha. Cutten is always expensive as hell! I work right by there at the cryogenic place during the summer. WHat do you mean by the nylon straps?

They hook me up on things when I need them. Guess it is because I know one of them. Though some of their stuff is still expensive because they don't buy everything direct or wholesale.
If they don't have it in stock, it's not going to be cheap.
