Default Shock Absorber Options for 2002 SC430

Hello,

Aside from factory components, what aftermarket providers make factory fitment shock absorbers for the early SC430. I'm searching for something along the lines of Koni yellows, et al. ...something with a factory fitment and (hopefully) a little compression and/or rebound adjustability. While coil-overs serve a purpose (on my race car, for example) my SC is NOT a car I want to modify with coil-overs. So, while others may find conversation about coil-overs useful, I (personally) won't.

Do products for GS series fit? Any caveats, etc?

Thanks!

yes, you can use Bilstein Sports front GS300 out of the box and the Bilstein Sports rears GS300 will work but you have to cut the bumpstop 1-1/2 inch or you can do what i did send them to Bilstein and have them redo them meaning revalve fronts. the rears they will revalve, cut rod and valve body. then you don't have to cut the bumpstop.

Are these the pieces you were thinking of (before the rework you referred to)?
