I found a set of 95 Firehawk shocks with 25,000 miles on them on ebay. He's got them on there for $50.00 and he lives close to me so I could prolly just pick them up and save the shipping. I was gonna buy take off decarbon off shocks from SLP for $75 shipped but thought these might be better? Are the Firehawk shocks better and do they have enough life left to make it worth it? I am planning on upgrading to BMR springs if that helps. Here's the link http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2455779771 Thanks guys any help is greatly apreciated.

I believe their exactly the same as standard deCarbons. Unless their Koni's, which they aren't, they're not worth it.Al 96 Ram Air T/A

On second look
They look like the De Carbons. Being orange and all and after a little research the Bilsteins were an option, even on the Firehawk, so I'm guessing this guy didn't have that option. I did a little looking and found these KYB AGX Adjustables on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2456407667 Are these better than the the decarbons? I want better than stock as I have heard they are pretty lame when compared with aftermarket units. I am on a tight budget though so I can't spend too much right now. All help is Greatly apreciated. Thanks .........later

For the effort, I wouldn't buy used shocks. You can get KYB's (which I have), or Bilsteins (also good) for dirt. Cut corners, (pun intended) elsewhere. IMHO.

I've been doing research and I am considering the KYB AGX adjustables. Seems people thing the de carbons are crap. I like the idea of adj shocks since I like a stiff ride but go to the strip now and then. So you like the KYBs then? I'm leaning towards them. Thanks
