Awesome- just what I was looking for, I have used KYBs for years and loved them and I can tell they will work well for the Crossfire.

That is not my experience. I changed shocks on my Graphite at around 100,000 miles to KYBs and was sorry.
I'd strongly suggest that, if you are going to change shocks, you buy adjustable shocks.

I mean, if you go get groceries and slow down for curves, they are fine. But if you intend to push the car in curves, non-adjustable KYBs ruined my car's handling.

EDIT: It occurs to me that my car may not have had factory shocks on it when I bought it. It could be that the KYBs simply put the car back the way the factory set it up.
All I know, is that the KYBs ruined the handling when compared to how the car drove the first 60,000 miles I had it.
