ok. The guy at shox.com said that a good inexpensive shock is toki and its 319 plus 22 shipping. Will these do? I dont need anything to special in the shocks deparment... just want to lower mymax without killing my suspension. Will these do? Or are Konis better? Carparts.com had them for a little more than shox.com's tokios.
Is there any place cheaper than shox.com?
Thanks... hopfully ill have my max lowered BEFORE winter!

if I were you I would get Koni's, they're adjustable so you can control how much stiffness you want

they are $425 at this place

hope this helps


p.s. read what other people say about Koni vs Tokico's

Why do you keep asking if tokikos are good when the majority of us tell you they aren't. Do you have a hearing problem

If you are not in a hurry then wait for the AGXs

It will be a bolt on without cutting old struts. The AGX is adjustable and about the same price or cheaper than the Konis. You waited this long why not a little longer for something really GOOD!

I've had Tokico's for over 10K, and they have performed very well. People have said that they go soft in 6K, but it hasn't happened to me.

If you want to race, perhaps you would be better off getting the Koni's. I don't race, so I don't need the extra performance.

koni's are not $425

Please quit posting that link to creverything.com . $425 is not their price even though that page says so. If you call they are $525 which is not a good deal. I asked about the website saying $425 and he said too bad it is a misprint.
