I'm in the need of new shocks. Iwas wondering where everyone gets theres and where the good deals are. I saw and compared some prices i have found and noticed that in some places and full suspension upgrade is cheaper then getting all new shocks. Let me know your thoughts.

Thanks

I would go with Koni FSD. Can't help with the dealer.

is there any good deals with shocks and springs anywhere b/c that would also be nice

Why are you getting new shocks?

 

[BlackedOutSaab]

well my ride isn't as nice as it should be. takes bumps pretty hard and what not. and funny thing is my mother had told me i should get new ones after a short trip in my car lol. so i'm looking to buy them and also want to lower my car. hoping someone nows of good deals out there so i can save some pennys.

Thanks

What kind of car do you have anyway, that might help with suggestions,,,we know it's a Saab, what Model/year

I was looking into shocks the other day and noticed that the Tire Rack has a pretty good selection.

I am intrigued by the Koni FSD's and may go this way next spring when doing a refresh on the suspension.

Anyone running FSD's care to comment?

Noticeable difference when you hit the sharp "Bump" in the road, soaks it up more than the stock Vector suspension did. Very Tight on the turns.

Here's a past Koni thread. As i recall, you can use lowering springs with the ARC..

This may not be possible in the US, but for anyone seeking a more plush ride should try out the BLS shocks and possibly the springs and bushings too.
