Shocks

[87SPGIN]

Which is the best perfomance for the dollar as far as a replacement aftermarket shock for the c900 body. I have an 87 spg so its lower than the turbo correct? is it worth it to go with bilsteins or koni, kyb..etc? which do you all suggest?

[bohtak]

for real performance go for the konis... bilstien will be a softer solution, both are good shocks
and yes the spgs' had a lower ride height.

koni's rock!
if you can get your hands on a set of konis then i would wholey recommend it.
good shocks and with adjustability it makes life great.

thanks all for your replies i am going to be trekking through the mountains on my way to my next duty station so i wanted to get rid of the stock shocks.. :oops:, and well i feel a bit cheap saying this but what do you think the difference is b/t the bilsteins/konis and KYB or boge?

I've said this before,

I have the Konis and I think they are too much for a commuter car. I spoiled myself.
