Shock And Bushing Question
« on: October 10 2011, 08:48:23 PM »
I've installed new rotors and pads at all 4 corners on this 1994 Impala SS I picked up this summer. It's going into storage just before the snow flys...and I'd like to pick up a new set of gas shocks and front end link and front and rear sway bar bushings. I'd like a firm ride...but not to the point of something that breaks my teeth.
Hard work pays off, dreams come true. Bad times don't last, but BAD GUYS do!

RIP Scott Hall AKA Razor Ramon

'07 Ford F150 Lariat 2WD, 5.4L 3v - 255k

'78 IH/Case 184 Lo-Boy
'99 Kawasaki Bayou 400 4x4

I think that would be instant mush.

I still prefer Bilsteins over just about everything other than even higher dollar Konis...The KYB's are supposed to be a Japanese copy of the Bilsteins, but, they sure don't give the ride or the control of the Billies.

I had a well worn, ex-sheriff's 9C-1 and that thing was an amazing handler for a big ol dawg.  It was ugly, but it would sure do the high speed cruise bit

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.
