shocks or struts

[therock]

i have a ? every one says that when you need to replace your suspension get all new shocks is that possible????????????those are struts up in the front so how could you put shocks there ? also any one know where i can get a cheap pair of shocks anad sturts dont need and performance ones

[hawgs]

Do you ever search?

You're correct.. our cars have struts in front, however most people just refer to them collectivly as shocks. One in the same.

www.slponline.com has DeCarbon replacements for cheap.

if it were me I would buy Hotchkis Lowering springs and Bilstein HD shocks. That is a good 600 bucks right there though.

All you need is basic tools and someone to compress them for you, or go rent the them. And yes they willl work.
