Has anyone replaced the front shocks on an Inspire? I'd appreciate the part numbers used, Make of shocks installed and your satisfaction rating. Cost info. would also be useful.

I replaced the non-adjustable Koni's with adjustable ones. You can purchase a pair directly from Koni for under $200.00. Go to their web site for the details. When installing them, turn 1 ½ turns. So far so good.

I replaced my shocks with Koni FSD's in March 2008. I don't have the specific model numbers handy. I ordered them from Henderson Super Steer, and they are quite knowledgeable. They significantly improved the ride - my front end bottomed out frequently, and has not done so once since the shocks were replaced. The overall ride improved as well. I am very pleased.
