I have a '79 RX-7 with 109,000 original miles. I want to replace the stock shocks/struts. Which are the best kind and who has the best price. This has been my daily summer driver for the past 14 years. I'm looking for a something that's slightly stiffer than stock. No need to be adjustable.

Thanks, RPM.

I had KYB GR-2's for a few years with no problems. They are alittle stiffer than stock and not very expensive. You can order them from Advance Auto Parts or British Victoria.
