It was a recommendation of my mechanic - as far as it appears from the service records I inherited, the shocks are the original shocks and as such have been there 18 years.
I think the other issue is just the roads where I live. The SPG is such a stiffly sprung/shocked car that it the whole strcture seems to take a beating on our rural, western Maine roads. My mechanic recommended replacing them with a slightly more compliant set especially given that winter (and frost heaves) are right around the corner.
He hasn't changed them out yet, so I am up for suggestions...
