Re: Shocks?

Nope. KYBs are junk. Anyone I have ever recommended Bilsteins to who had KYBs previously agreed 100%. All I changed on my car was the shocks and a friend who rode in it asked what all I changed to make it ride so nice. Just the Bilsteins. KYBs are stiffer in compression and don't control the car any better. Worse ride, worse handling; KYBs are just terrible. BTDT. Running Bil's on 2 g-bodies. Including one you faxed me RPOs for about 9 years ago. -Matthew |

Re: Shocks?
I've been very happy with KYB GAS-A-JUST shocks. I read about them in the GN/TType archives and I put them on my Regal, liked them so much I also now have them on my 91 S-10 and my father's 00 S-10. They come in at alittle over $100 for four at http://www.p-s-t.com.

Re: Shocks?
If money is tight, or you have other serious issues with car, save money and go with stock shocks. They are fine. A Buick is not a real good car to go flying around turns anyway. Brakes are poor, handling is so-so. etc. These cars are made for point-and shoot, straight line go! The smooth ride is a nice feature in my opinion. I like my car better with no front sway bar at all! can't feel bumps as much....coffee drinking is OK. And easier to get up front end at the track. I do have a BIG rear sway bar. 1.51 60' with wheel up action. Stock motor/suspension (except big rear bar).....Smooth ride!
