Go with Tokico....the part numbers are HU3704 and HU3705 for the complete set front and rear. I suggest them because you get a lifetime warranty, if they ever go bad you just return them and Tokico would issue you new replacements.

Please remember to have a complete wheel alignment done after changing both shocks and springs. Have them reset the SAI in the alignment (Steering Angle Inclination) to the original degree setting.

You can get them at a reduce price from http://www.shox.com ask for Chris Barnett.

Go with Tokico.
I have Tokico shocks and they ride almost as smooth as the originals.
Don't get KYB, they suck!!!!
Heard many horror stories of them exploding!!!! :eek:

Again....I suggest you go with the Tokico's. I currently have them on both of my cars (LS400 and Supra Turbo). The ride on the LS400 is nice and smooth like the OEM, just better performance.
