If I had the money I would see if TieN or any Japanese brands. KYB is a decent basic, just imo. My 97' isnt air ride though, but I to am at least looking for the rears I had somebody put kybs in the front a little while ago but I don't want to spend that money for the rear, which I have ready for new parts I just need to find preloaded coilovers. Do you have any experience swapping Springs onto new shocks?
