buy a cheap seat, cut a whole where your ***** would sit. They way they could just dip into that whole and be pertected ! I went with the stock shocks from pepboys and my car rode fine ! ( Monroe I think)

I got the 4 pack of Bilsteins for my 95 recently and am generally pleased. The car would wallow a bit at highway speeds and the new shocks cleaned that right up, but the rear does feel stiff/hard going over bumps at slow to medium speeds. I have the base/FE1 suspension.
I think I got them from either Ecklers or Corvette Central for about $300.

Shockwise, I had less issues because the shocks were no longer shot and causing bounciness. I went with Bilsteins. I replaced at 50k on my 87 in 08 due to a leak in one; then realized how bad they were.

Bilstein ..
Yes, sounds far fetched. I am unable to locate the exact shocks, they are no longer available. Probably for good reason. But there are still some replicants available .. http://www.lingenfelter.com/mm5/merc...egory_Code=C81 ..
Some of the stuff I have used on my car is from Lingenfelter, others from all over. Over $30k. in mods. I have no wish to argue with anyone here. I am simple expressing my experience's.

Are getting a vasectomy? One day in & out? A tumor surgery would be a two day, you go in today, they slice and you may leave tomorrow.
