Default Shocks ???

What is a good replacement shock for an 86' ?
Would like general street ride performance.

I would suggest KYB shocks.

For your application I think they would work well and not break the bank.

I put KYBs on my '89 to replace the OEM shocks and am very pleased with the result. They provide a firm ride without the jarring and bashing of the OEM shocks. I also noticed that the rattles have also subsided compared to the stock suspension. However, the car still corners flat. Do it . . you won't regret it.
