I don't recommend KYB. I would recommend revalved Bilstein HDs or Koni SA from Sam Strano at www.stranoparts.com

A lot people don't like KYB , they don't seem to hold up long and wear out quickly.

is stranno the best place as far as price. The only reason i liked the kybs is the fact that they are only 89 each.

I have the 8 way adjustible but I plan to upgrade to some HALs. I can't even tell any difference from the #1 setting to #8 on the KYBs.

You get what you pay for with shocks. Shocks are the most important suspension piece on an f-body.

What is your purpose with the car?

pretty much a weekend warrior. I want a good balance between street and strip. Im buying a procharger right now so I just want to be able to hook it a little for now until i get the ol 12 bolt. I just dont want the embarassing 12.8s at 120, but i want a good ride as well.
