Wink What Shocks for me ???

Well I have a 2002 SS with about 57K miles. Still with DeCarbons. Now, everytime I go over a bump on the road or even the little reflectors on the highway, My car makes a loud noise, Like there is nothing dampening the impact. So my guess its shocks. And I also just want to replace them because its still on factory ones. Now, I want to have a better ride than stock thats for sure but what does Konis offer that the revalves Bilsteins dont ?
In what cases do I need a Koni SA ? or when is necessary ?

I just want to get a clear vision the the two.

Thanks!

Give a ring to Sam Strano, he will set you straight on the difference in the shocks. He helped me a ton by taking the time (45 mins) to explain the differences to me. I went with revalved HDs and not the adjustable Konis'.


Also where can I get a 2020 Camaro?

The beauty of Koni SAs is the adjustability. If you feel they are to harsh-adjust. Too soft-adjust. What they have over revalved bilstiens is that if they are not exactly as you want-you can adjust, as apposed to having to buy different shocks. Plus being able to slightly lower your car w stock springs via the lower perch is nice!

I want to see pics of that 2020 SS Strano revalves are a good choice.
