I actually found a dangO that was front end mutilated=so I got the rear shacks for 20 bucks=I got a add-a-leaf kit in the basement so I figure I'll monkey around with that first...by the way Autzone revamped their website and the superior shacks aren't on it anymore-So tomorrow I think i'll grab a set incase their phasing them out of the supply line...
