Shocks?

I have a 94 vette and want to repalce the shocks and wondering what ones i should get? PLus want to replace the bushing in the front also. How hard is it? It has 88000 miles on it. I find when I am up past 80s when I hit a dip in the road it seems to do a extra litttle bounce. Then it settles down again but think its time to change them.

KYBs for a nice smooth ride or Bilsteins if you do a bit of spirited driving or occasional track days.

Which "bushing" are your referring to? You should start with sway bar and end-link bushings front and back, as they seem to be a common issue.

A vote for Bilstein.

I have had them on several C4's and Impalas. They give a very controlled ride without being harsh. They last a long time too.

Depending on usage and budget, they might be worth it
