Shocks

[iroc22]

What shocks are you guys using? How do you like them?

Is anyone using adjustable ones?

i got 20 year old shit stock ones, help :-\

haha Jason you moron.. Stock ones, LOL

Hey Iroc22 Im using KYB AGX Adjustables. 8 way on the rear 4 way on the front
so far I couldnt tell you.. i love them in a combo with my Eibach 1" Drop springs.
However I did so much suspension work all at once that I cant tell what made the biggest improvement. But I do like how they feel and I do like the adjustments! Hope this helps =)
also the KONI adjustables are good

[iroc22]

Yeah that is what I am hearing that KONI and KYB make good adjustable shocks. I want ones with little dampening and I was thinkin KYB. I was also considering Eibach 1" springs as well...

I've driven cars with both setups and personally I'd go with the KYB's on this one, I'm actually looking into it for my Z28, the KONI's are a definate close second

I posted this on 3rd gen as well

if you are going to lower your car, wouldn't it be good to get adjustable shocks/struts.. if you use lowering springs.. then all of a sudden the travel on the shock becomes shorter and now it's in a different travel area....

for now i have stock rate springs and Monroe sensatracks in all 4 corners and im verry happy, its handles verry well and still has a nice ride,

[79 Z28]

mines old loose and swashy :P when i add the drag suspension it will be new loose and swashy lol

[iroc22]

I've heard the Monroe sensa trac's suck because they stay mushy in the corners.

i got them too i had them replaced about 6 months ago before that i had the stock ones from the original oem and i was able to just pull it up and down with 3 fingers!

Koni Sa's on all four corners here and love them to death. Night and day difference.

This is true with alot but not all brands . KONIs are not position sensitive so they can operate properly in any part of their stroke so long as they do not physically top or bottom out. If you run a slammed Fbody , these are perfect.

The best way is to have your shocks revalved to your springs IMO. I've got revalved Bilstein HD's by sam strano to go with my LG G2 springs. They kick ass compared to my regular bilstein/sportline setup.
