    Struts are getting pretty old time to replace. What is my best route? I want to keep my stance, but really want to get a smoother ride. The springs are Eibach II up front and whatever came on the koni's in the rear. Combo has around 80k should I replace the springs too?

    Kyb Agx are your best bet. Springs can stay.

    My GMPP koni's still have a lot of life in them. But I was curious to find out how much Koni charges for a rebuild they told me it was $165 each plus parts and a lead time of 8-10 weeks.
