Shocks question

I currently have after market shocks, not sure brand on the front-end. They seem fine, but with new brakes, rotors, wheels and Toyo tires, I am wondering if I should go ahead and just get some KYB's put on? I bought the car used and not sure how old the current shocks are? Should I just leave it alone, if it isn't causing me problems, or get them changed?

How does your car handle? Are there any problems or are you just looking to upgrade?

Oh, reading this website too often will have the effect of making you think you need to change things... That's for sure. hehe

If it is not broke don't fix it. Now did that talk you out of changing the shocks

If you really have the itch to upgrade to KYB's, it only runs about $140 for the entire set. Of course, that is just for the shocks (not installation).

Re: Shocks question (dbwade36)

I was in your same spot about three months ago. My dad kept saying leave them alone, my mechanic said the same, and my wife...well that is always what she says. I replaced them, and I am very, very glad that I did. I can really tell a difference. I just replaced them with the stock shocks and did all four at the same time. It cost me about $300.00 for the Bilsteins and labor....A little high, but it drives alot better...... That is just my 2 cents.............now give me my change..!
