  • Any ideas on temporary shocks??

    0ok guys i have 94 3.4 camaro...bought the car last May...it still looked to have the original de carbons and everything seemed to be firm still soo i didnt swap em out and just threw some lowering springs on it and the ride was still good..Now during this winter its been hell here in nyc with pot holes that it was even in the news and everyones calling it like we're driving on the moon with craters everywhere lol...soo anyway the roads pretty much killed my shocks and i was planning to get some kyb agx's but i cant afford a set right now..i was planning to get them this summer..but right now i dont even feel like driving the car anymore cuz the ride is that bad..soo any ideas on a temporary cheap shock that has a nice firm ride that would hold out till this summer??

    how much are you looking to spend?

    to me, purchasing a temp part of shocks and struts is just a waste of money...even if you spend $60 that is money that your gonna spend twice since your purchase new ones in the a few months...

      So there is nothing wrong with the shocks currently on your car? I wouldn't spend the money twice either.

        i wouldnt like to spend the money twice either...but yes all the shocks are bad..i was saying before winter they were good but right now it feels as if nothing is there..when i go over bumps its loud bangs all over..and its quite embarrassing when i have people in the car...thats why i would like a temp fix for a couple of months...but i see that the front shocks arent cheap compared to the rear..like the cheapest front shocks are like $70 each and the the agx fronts are $109 each..so for the front doesnt look like there is a fix unless i find used low miles de carbons? the rear on the other hand are $13 each..i dont usually go cheap on my cars but i would really like the agx's..and this summer i am planning to do the whole suspension...half of it is done already..i just need to do all the control arms and shocks...and i really cant hold out like this till summer...so what are you guys opinions??

              yea i checked those out already..those are like $70-$80ea. front shocks and i would find that hard for me to buy since the kyb agx front shocks are just $30 more...not sure what im gonna do yet..but i think ill go with the monroes in the rear and maybe try to find de carbons for the front..all i want out of these things is probably 3-4 months tops
