Default Shocks!

Well, looks like it is time to get new shocks. What is a good replacement shock for a 91? Or should i stick with the OEMs?

I like my Koni single adjusts. You can also have the factory Bilsteins rebuilt.

I've got a set of Bilstein Z51's for sale. They have about 500 miles on them as they were used while my FX3 were out getting rebuilt

What suspension do you currently have installed?? What do you like and dislike about the current setup?? Do you like a firm ride, soft ride or adjustable to suit your mood/needs?? Koni, Edelbrock, HAL QA1 and stock are fine choices. :seeya

just got the stock set-up - option FE1 which is the soft-ride suspension. I have 81K on these shocks and i am starting to feel EVERY bump! I'm not looking to change the whole set-up (ain't got the $$$ for that) - just looking to replace the shocks themselves.

I am very happy with the KYB Gas Adjust shocks I put on about 4-5 months ago. About $40.00 each.

I also just replaced the factory Bilsteins with KYB's. So far, the ride is great. BTW, I just use my car on the street, no racing.
