new shocks

[scotty5]

So my camaro needs new suspension... I have no idea what I am doing. I would like better handling and will give up comfort. I'm not sure what to replace (springs/shocks) I have looked around and found a couple that I seem to like and are relatively cheap, under $500 for a set. However I have no idea what else I’m going to need, if these are even worth getting and where to buy them

Re: new shocks

the first set of shocks in the first link are good but i wouldn't pay that price. Here is a site that is alot cheaper with the same shocks.

Bilstien. Springs optional, poly bushings advised.

Re: new shocks

so with the shocks from ws6project.com i don't need springs or am i just using the stock springs? and if i need new ones where/what should i get?

Re: new shocks

i wouldn't get springs unless your lowering. and ws6store they are just the shocks. But i heard the bilstein hds are on national backorder. so you might want to check with whoever you order them for incase they are.

Re: new shocks

o and i would either get konis or bilsteins those would really be the only ones worth spending your money. remeber you get what you pay for. i always live by that statement.

if you are going to go ahead and get some after market shocks for better handlingp properties. I highly recomend getting some aftermarket springs that have a stiffer spring rate. They will give u alot better handling with the new shocks, will look alot better on your car giving u about a 1 inch drop. Just my oppinion.

Re: new shocks

i'm still not sure why the bilstein HD's are so much better than the other shocks. the Gas-A-Just here: http://www.performancecenter.com/pro...ET/1999/Camaro

and everywhere else i see it keeps you "glued to the road" and are cheaper because the rear ones are only $35. The HD's say they are also for minor off road use. i'm looking to spend under $400 on new shocks and am not sure what to buy

Re: new shocks

i would go with bilstiens, people with fbodies, beamers and more go with this company and they outperform alot of other stuff. They are good shocks.

Re: new shocks

i just put the slp bilsteins and eibach lowering springs in like 2 weeks ago. couldnt be happier. hugs the road like a champ. it does take bumps a little harsher though but its not bad.
