Any deals on shocks going on right now?

I need a set for the 3RD gen. Originals have 100k miles.
National Tire & Wheel could not ship a shock for a week, no more business for them. Went to look at some Monroe Sensas at Pepboys and the quality looked horrible, especially the welds. So any deals going on right now for something for under $200 for all 4?

They might be a little more than $200 but you should look into buying a set of Old Man Emu shocks from this guy... https://www.yotatech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=61223

Just call.

4Wheel Parts prices have gone up a bit for the 3rd gens now. The last time I checked, they were asking about $180.00 for a set.

I'm running the ES3000(their OEM shock/strut replacement) fronts & ES9000 rears. I wanted to replace to the 3000's w/the 9000's in the front but I was told by customer service tech @ ProComp that they don't make anything higher than the ES3000 fronts.

Yeah I got these. They have decent paint and welds on them. But man do they live up to the "performance shock" on the box. They could easily go on from factory on some German sport sedan.

Does anyone else have these shocks? Did the fronts come with any rubber parts? The rears had 2 sets of rubber parts, for top and bottom mounting. Front had only the shock and a locking nut so I had to reuse the old rubber thingies that go around the top plate.


The front shocks went in like this:

locking nut
washer
rubber thing
top plate
rubber thing
washer
shock

It seems like the stock rubber things are too small as there is some clunk going over speed bumps. I tightened the locking nut on the top as far as it goes and I think it's still loose?
