When to replace shocks? Some say within the first 5000 miles...

Bilsteins will serve you well, far better than the OEMs... $0.02

John has a special on them through this month if I recall correctly

I swapped-out my 2001 OE shocks for Bilsteins at 27,000 miles. Big difference (improvement) in ride. The Bills damp in both compression and rebound. The OE only in rebound. ;)

The OEM shocks are bad out of the box! Don't know why they even bother. It'd almost make sense if they offered a Bilstein option, but they don't...
