For $118, I'd go higher end than Monroe. KYB GR-2s are about $90 for that car, and they're a great shock for a DD. Tokico and Bilstein also make very high quality shocks. That said, almost anything will be an upgrade over stock units with 97k on them. Thank you, after a lot of research kyb is much ...

SecondGenPAt wrote:most techs bleed just the service circuit. it does require a scan tool to activate the pump and cycle the hold and release valves to pump the old fluid through so it is a little difficult. You will be fine bleeding the service circuit only
So you saying that bleed just the front brake is fine?

well advance and autozone both sell crap, and the pads that firestone will put on will eat rotors like you wouldn't believe. (this is due to the pad compound that provides low noise and low dust) I prefer NAPA auto parts for the system in my car that is responsible for bringing it to a halt. I also...
