Curious on Shock Issue

I know Bilstein should be the way to go...but how do the KYB's hold up to them? Are they as good as the stock ones? My car right now feels like a boat in water! I need something but not sure if I should spend more money on the Bilstein's.

Seeing how I still haven't figured out the rough acceleration problem and I haven't fixed the rear end whine yet. Hopefully that will be done this Saturday. Money is always an issue. :mad:

KYB any good? What about those Tycokiocococo? However you spell it.

Sooooo...I take it KYB are not good?

Im going to get edelbrock shocks and struts for my 82 as soon as I have some loot$

i got the kyb gas adjust on my car. they are alright. wen i replace my shocks im going to get something alot nicer though. i was just short on fundage when i replaced al my suspension. get some hal's they are great
or tokicos, either one

Thanks for the feedback!

your welcome

I have KYB AGX shocks and struts on my car. I like them. I have the fronts on 5 and rears on 4.

If I had the choice to buy them again, I would. Just my :2cents: (well... .01438 after taxes :smile: )

what kind of srpings do you have?
i have eibach and they have a "soft spot on the top of them to make little bump a bit more comfortable. well my problem is that my shockls have that same soft spot.

Well, my whole suspension is still stock. I want to change it out bad but money is a big issue. Still paying for a stupid transmission rebuild.
I really don't want to lower my car, thats why I don't want lowering springs...plus the pot holes and dips here in Florida suck. I hate it when I have to rub that air dam underneath.

I was thinking about just getting the Bilsteins. But what kind of springs would work good, other than stock? I don't want to lower them too much.

when I called edelbrock about third gen shocks/struts they said they dont make them but they have springs .Go ahead and call because I dont know if they were pulling my chain or not.

Okay, I called Edelbrock...ouch...my front shocks with them are:

Front: #33031 $289.00 <-better clean my dishs too!
Rear: #34031 $93.00

For your model...I think its part number:

Front: #33996 $93.00
Rear: #34996 $93.00 <-these are the performance shocks same as above...but you have an option for the classic shocks but I think they are for the older models of the late 60's and 70's.

not sure who this is directed to, I have the stock springs. next to last thing left in my suspension.(torque arm is the other thing).
