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

Re: Shocks! (Jeffvette)
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

Re: Shocks! (Goody)
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.
