Help me decide on which shocks to get Ok, I'm looking tog et some new shocks as I'm over 40,000 miles now and I feel everything is starting to get a bit soft. I'm already planning on replacing the front and rear swaybar endlinks and bushings with poly bushings, I already have lca's, phr, and torque arm. The car will not be lowered as I have SLP LT's. The car is my Daily driver, the only racing it sees is in a straight line, any suggestiosn. Thanks a lot in advance.
Re: Help me decide on which shocks to get Straight line may suggest Hal. Or, for a driver look at Tokico Illumina 5 (adjustable shocks), they are good street shocks and may allow some adjustment for 1/4 mile runs (www.ground-control.com has them). If you are a hard core drag racer, the Hals may be the way for you to go. If it is street driven and you just "mess around" at the strip on occasion....look towards Tokico, Bilstien, even KYB Gas-A-Just are not bad (and real cheap). Good luck.

What's your budget?
call Sam and go with Bilstein HDs or Koni SAs, as your budget allows.
Do a search on this and you will find TONS of info. HDs made mine a new car but after riding in a Koni car, wish I'd saved up and gone that route.
Good luck!
