Gregg-
I was planning on getting the bilsteins to go with it, but the kit itself is
expensive enough (about 1K with the swaybars) and i was looking for a cheap
temporary solution to get me by until I could afford to pick up the
bilsteins. I was thinking about leaving the stock shocks on there for a
little while, but I don't want to push my luck when driving up to the BBQ in
NY with way overcompressed stock shocks.
