Hello,
My electric adjustable shocks are worn.

Since it's a way too much to fix it, can I replace them with regular gas shocks like KYB, Monroe, or Tokico?

Please let me know.
Thank you!

All of them said "Except Adjustable", but I assume that I can ignore it, correct?

Thanks again!

One more question, do I have to disable (or take out) any electric part for the e-adjustable shock?

if you are looking to replace the adjustable shock, I still have mine barely used, probably less than 10k on them. Been sitting in the basement collecting dust, but will sell at a good price if you want to go that route? PM me if interested, later

No, just make sure the harness plugs and wires are tucked out the way. I would check out Angelo's offer though. He's a good fella <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
