Update
New shocks from parts.com are $1200 each. The best price for new that I found.
I'm going with rebuilt units from Arnott Industries for $650 + $200 core each.

Shocks arrived today, and will be installed Saturday by my Indy. He also said he can calibrate the ABC system to lower the rear 1", and the front 3/4". The shocks from arnott industries looked great. The upper rubber mount of both front shocks are broken.
I'll take pictures of the old units as soon as I can
Peace

OK. Shocks installed, and I forgot how well this car rides. Smooth,smooth, and did I say smooth. Taking it for a cruse to San Diego this weekend.
I'll post pictures of the old shocks with the upper rubber mount failure. The upper mount had about an inch of play on both.
I was told by the tech that the alignment is off because of the rear tire size . 245/35/ZR20 up front, 275/30/ZR20 rear. He said the rear is shorter than the front, and that affects the alignment. So to the tire shop.
Thanks for all your help. Hope this helps others.
