Quote: You also have to be careful to not get sucked into all the hype about certain shocks being the cure all. A few years back everyone and their brother was telling me that my CE shocks were junk, and that brand-X front shocks would make my car 60' sooo much faster. So, I finally caved in and got the new shocks, and lo and behold, the car ran EXACTLY the same....but my wallet sure was lighter.
That does NOT mean the new shocks weren't better..........it just likely means you didn't get the most out of them. Good shocks are not the magic "fix all" for a poorly working car.........BUT, they ARE required to make you car work as well as it possibly can. They are a huge part of the overall package.
I generally get my Santhuffs from Mike Roth. As he says, he is one of their largest dealers and can likely get them quicker than you can by calling Santhuff yourself. Plus, for the vast majority of guys, Mike will know exactly what you need for what you intend to do
