Kinda like how a suspension works!

I replaced the shocks with Z51 spec Bilsteins, and the floating sensation has gone away.
I hope that helps.
BINGO. The old not enough miles problem.

Default What is your OEM Suspension?

Dr. Rich,

There's only one question that would help this - do you have the window sticker from the car to determine what your OEM Suspension is?

Regardless of your answer, if you have no intention of AutoX or tracking your car, I would stick with the Bilsteins. Which Bilstein to choose would be based on what came with the car.
