Pardon me for being the one to say this, but in your sig you have a beautiful supercharged SHO and you're looking to pull shocks from a junk yard?

Am I the only one that is thinking this is :nut:

If I were to add anything constructive to this, I would say that I assume you could get shocks from a junk yard permitting they are in good condition.

However, any time I ever pulled knuckles from a Taurus in the junk yard, the chrome shock rods pretty much collapsed into the body of the shock just by gravity alone. I'm sure that would do wonders for handling... ;)

You are not allowed seeing you have $7K+ dropped in your SHO :)

Don't bother with junkyard ones... Just pony up the money for new ones. I got monroe quickstruts shipped to my door for $550. Those included springs and were a drop in replacement.

don't those monroe's that have the spring and strut come with new upper mounts as well?

I can't really see paying that much for monroe's... and I can't see myself paying anything at all for stock springs

They are a bargain. Complete, and ready to install.

Struts, mounts, bellows and pads, mounts and bearings.

Remove the old, install the new.

Unless I come accross a smoking deal on a set of Konis, my boosted SHo will get the quickstruts.
