S2K Suspension
Can anyone recommend the best (reaonably priced?) strut/shock assembly replacement for a 2008 S@K with 100k miles? Or, should I go OEM?

Scroll down to "Brakes and Suspension", tons of info in there.

OEM is pretty darn good. Works great, lasts a long time. You get what you pay for.
|
There are frequently OEM parts on Ebay from those who just have to have adjustable coilovers (and rarely have a clue how to adjust them). A complete set is possible.
But what's wrong with yours? -- Chuck |
oem,ohlins bilstein and eibach are the brands you want to stick with
stay away from tru hart,skunk 2, apexi and any thing else thats under $1500 konis are good but there a down grade from stock suspension.... |

Konis are not a downgrade. They have less compression damping than OEM, otherwise there is no downside. The Konis are every bit as reliable, handle higher spring rates, are easier to swap springs with, and unlike OEM units, can be rebuilt, and re-valved, or converted to dual adjustable. Not surprising when the Koni yellows cost more or less the same as OEM dampers.

AST 4150 another good quality coilover.

and a fully assembled CR suspension is ~$1,300, I've ordered a few.

$389 for each front one. The rear ones are discontinued but it's $465 for all the parts needed to assemble a rear shock.
https://www.hondapartsnow.com/parts-...-absorber.html https://www.hondapartsnow.com/parts-...-absorber.html So yeah you were right, that's about $1,600 with shipping. |
If just buying the Springs and Shocks.... about $1,220. Not too bad I guess... especially for OEM quality that'll last at least 100k miles, if not more.
|
The bump stops are CR specific, I would get those too.
