Gabriel Shocks?

Re: Gabriel Shocks?

FWIW, KYB and Gabriel both have lifetime warranties. My sister's car had them and they lasted her for 5 years and +50k miles. When they went out, I took them all to Carquest with my receipt and walked out with all four for free with no questions asked. They may not be top of the line, but if you are not road racing the car they should work just fine.

Strano will sell any shock he can sell although Blisteins and KYB's ADJ. are great shocks for the money, I would go with KYB's just becuase of the adjustability of them , that whay I went with QA-1's plus ride height adustment.

Can you use the stock springs with the QA-1's or do you need special ones?
I'll be replacing the front shocks in the spring and was thinking of QA-1's so I can lower the car 2".

from what I gathered you need there springs for the front, but for the back you can resuse ours.

Although I think I read somewhere that you can use ours with some fabrication...I belive they are different lenths.

There springs arent that expensive though...theyre like 55$ each...probably a good idea to get new springs anyways... might want to look into the 325# ones for handling

I bought my trans am with gabriel shocks in the rear. they are red, matches the car which is kinda cool, but they basically ride like the stock shocks did.
