Recommendations for Shock Replacement

Any suggestions on shock replacement for the A-Spec suspension? No vendors or others with a profit motive. Thanks.

Just worn shocks? Why not just order more aspec gear? Anything aftermarket and worthwhile is close to the same price and you'll know the valving matches the springs.

I had Koni Yellows on my 2005. $658 w/ free shipping from shox dot com. Those shocks were absolutely phenomenal on that car. I mainly used the car for a daily driver and mountain twisties. It handles exceptionally well and thanks, in part, to the Konis.

They are only available as part of the entire damper unit at $175 each. Given that they wore out after 50k miles, I am hoping for something with more longevity and possibly rebuildable.

Ahh. Koni yellows. They are rebuild-able from what I understand and adjustable to whatever dampening you like.
