Default Your Choice

I checked the website and the parts look very overpriced. In the summer of 09 I replaced the rear shocks. I believe the mechanic charged me about 350 for parts and labor. He offered to do the upgrade and it was going to be another 300 for parts. I decided to do the stock since my har has 150k and probably when it hits 200k im going to get something else. In my option, I didnt think it was economical to spend another 300 dollars just on shocks when I needed some tires anyways, plus I dont dont race, dont do the track, its just my daily driver. I guess if you have low miles and are looking for the better performance it might be worth it. Good luck.

i see what your saying. but i need to replace both rear shocks, and the ones i found cheapest were at ECS. but then if im spending 300$ on shocks i feel like i should just get the whole set for 700 and it comes with springs also...and i have 98k miles
