I went ahead and ordered them. My factory shocks were completely gone when I got the car. I'd never seen front shocks so bad. The ones I pulled off didn't even rebound when compressed. It just stayed down.
The backs were actually alright so they didn't get changed out. Gotta love that lifetime warranty though.
It's like getting a lifetime warranty on brake pads. It's something you know you'll be changing again. I guess the hope you'll sell the car before that happens.
It really wasn't expensive. Sears quoted me $600 for Rancho brand shocks.
Yikes!!!! I bought all 4 Rancho's for my '98 Z71 from Summit Racing for under $200! $100 per shock labor?!?! Grab some tools and a couple beers and do it yourself!
