That is way too cheap if those are new parts.

Something doesn't sound right.

hey, I was trying to get you to respond to me last time on where you got the agx at? but i finally found someone that was carrying them for 250 for KYB AGX on Craiglists from San Fernando, CA. But any way my set up came out to the same price. KYB AGX-$250 (off Craiglists.com) and Ground Control $289 (jhpusa.com) Other then that camber kit and toe joint would help you out alot same with ASR subframe and a 22mm or up Sway Bar. Since I was on a budget I went with AGX/GC,password front and rear camber/toe joint/asr/24mm/new trailing arm bushing/and front ES bushing and then threw on some new tires size 195 on some 15. Ride is fantastic. Calculation on all parts was under 1100 with doing the labor myself. I think this is the best deal to go on a nice quality and low budget!

What can I say, I asked for help (YOU) and still haven't received an ANSWER. So instead of relying on other people, I went off and bought the best deal that I can find.

$250 for a set of new KYB AGX is hardly "getting ripped."

i guess what u say is true "agx for 250 hardly a rip off" but i am just saying if i can get mines for 200 out the door, some of these guys that are selling them for 300+ are making a lot of money.

Not necessarily. You don't know what distribution channels they're going through and how much they are paying.

Whoever sold them to you for $200 made almost nothing, if anything. There's no point in running a business if you're not making any money; that's kind of the point of it.

What do you feel is an acceptable profit to make on a $90 shock?
