got it installed at the wheel supply and got ripped for $125. Probably could've got it cheaper if I talked to Sander/the owner. Too lazy to haggle and I was feeling sick and drowsy too, so I just want to get it done.

Are you guys running the stock AMG shocks with the Renntech springs? Would that shorten the life of the shocks? I wanna pick up a set of the Renntech springs also but was wondering if I need to pick up a set of shocks as well.

Thanks.

Hey Frank,
How's the ride in your car? Do you notice it's a little stiffer and do you feel the rides a little bumpier? Any suspension noise? I notice a noise once in a while. Just wondering.

Thanks

I felt it's a little softer actually.

where's the noise coming from? might be just dry bushing from the suspension. I had the front thrust-arm changed because it had a dry bushing on it and they just changed the whole part. I also got free alignment because of that...heh

squeeking

rareamg, frankw, andy.....just fyi. I too had that squeaking on my 02, when i took car for it's 20K mile service i mentioned and right away i was told it was the sway bar bushings. they were changed - the mouse is gone!

shocks tend to degrade slowly and subtly over time......i will do the renntech springs -prob after winter but i wondering if i should replace all the shocks....might be pricy tho...

the renntech springs have a spring rate to match the stock AMG shocks!!! H&R will be a harsher ride!!
