Default replacement shocks

My bro has a '93 formula bird, he needs shocks but its his DD and he is not much about modding the car or taking it to track events or anything. I talked him into at least a set of bilsteins. Although not sure if there is a big difference between the bilstein HDs and the bilstein HDs with strano rear revalves. Can anyone set some light into this?

Why don't you call Sam Strano and ask him.He is the guy to talk to.I think that the bilsteins are valved more like the decarbons.The strano revalves are better if I remember right.I use the koni 4/3's on my t/a,(better shock).Call Strano performance and see what he has to say.He is a good guy and won't try to sell you something you don't need.

I would go with the strano spec Bilstien HD's. They are like ~450 a set. They aren't revalved. They are just a different rear shock from the normal HD's.

Check out my thread I just made.

I bought KYB AGXs and I'm very satisfied. The ride quality is much nicer and I have better traction from a dig, as well. The cornering doesn't seem to be sacrificed either.
