Default New Shocks

Got new shocks put on today all around. Boy what a difference in ride. Nothing expensive. Took the advice from the forum and got the Monroe Sensa-Trac(sp). Going to replace the front springs next. Car sits too low in front. Springs are sagging. Left front brake caliber started leaking yesterday. Got that on order today. :smash: Power steering piston has leak. Ordered a kit for that also. Corvettes, Harleys, babies, and old men. I do, I did, I was, and I am. :rolleyes:

I put a set of Monroes on mine about four months ago and it also made a difference.....much better ride.

I heard the Edelbrock Performer IAS shocks were very good, I intend to put a set of them on my 'vette this winter. Glad you like the ones you choose though :cheers:
