That sucks, is it leaking? No sign of any aftermarket shocks yet. This is why I put the HFP kit on, I wanted shocks and springs that were matched for each other, hopefully it will help them last.

Koni is coming out next April-May...I talked to them last week. I didn't believe the guy, so I called back and spoke to another person, they told me the same thing.

My fronts are going fast. The passenger grinds already when it gets cold out.

You could technically get Koni's now... They are just custom built and as such will run you upwards of $400 per shock.

With enough money you could theoretically have anything built.
