I was shocked when I bought mine last February (no pun intended!) at about 30.00 each. The days of the 10.00 shock are long gone! I just went with OEM from crack auto. If you wanted to upgrade, I'd consider some gas filled units with a good warranty. To be honest with you, the stock jobs and new springs lets the special glide down the road. I also did air shocks on the back, for the "look". Bill
