hey guys i am trying to get new shocks and struts for my 97 max. Is KYB - AGX is a good choice? How much should i expect to pay installed? and just to be sure we have struts in the front and shocks in the back correct? thnx!

AGXs are very nice. Technically we have struts all around.

Install them yourself. It only takes about 3 hours.

AGX are great if you are looking for an adjustable shock.

A good place for shocks:

cool! know any good place to get them installed in NYC/Queens or LI? I would do them myself but i dont have the tools nor the space to do it.
I found this place by my house the guy seems to know what he is talking about and gave me a estimate of $780 installed and aligned. what do u think?

$780!!!! RIPOFF...most shops will charge you $200 for a spring/shock install...Keep lookin or do them yourself and yes you can combine these w/your stock springs...

WTF???? what the **** is he smoking?? damn.... try postin at your local forum and see if anyones willing to do it for you cheap. In my local forum there are couple guys willing to do the installations for cheap. I don't think you should be paying anymore then $200 at the most. And if you do find someone on .org that would do it for you no more then $100(max) usually they ask around $50. For $780 you could get the new springs, strut/shocks, and get that installed for that price.... so keep looking.

wait wait...i think you guys misunderstood me. its $780 for the parts and installation and alignment all together. $180 for each front strut and $120 for each rear struct $140 for installation and $45 for alignment. How does that sound?

Group deal on AGX's is $330.
Install - I do installs for $100. I'm in Bergen Cty NJ, just off Rt80.
Alignment = $50

If I can still add correctly I come up with $480 give or take a few bucks.

so just struts, installation, and alignment? no springs???
what kind of struts? agxs? on stock spring? why are you upgrading struts only? I would get springs with it. Go with Sprint springs with agx. I think they are running special on agxs for around $320 shipped and for spring springs call Alex@ www.southwestautoworks.com and he's also running a special on sprints for $150 shipped. So thats only $470 and like I said find someone local on .org and ask them to install it for around $50 and get an alignment at local shop for around $50. so that's little less then $600 for the whole thing. That's what I would do.
