Just recieved my new car take offs(shcoks and springs)and they look brand new,and they are orange in color like my old bilstiens,but can't put them on till next wednesday,and they look a little wider(shocks).They are new car takeoffs from SLP,$85.00 plus $50.00 shipping.Anybody heard of these?Thanks.

 

De Carbons are standard equiptment on F bodys for the money they are a great deal. As for ride quality. They are ok. Bilsteins would be better. Is your car lowered?

 

Not lowered,just a daily driver.With 110,000 on the clock,anything should improve the handeling some I guess.Thanks.

 

I've just ordered them too, so hopefully they will improve my awful 165,000 mile ride. I'll let you all know when I get them and get them installed. They can't be any worse.

 

Just had the new shocks and springs installed.Car is rides like brand new.Real tight on all four corners.Happy camper here.No more leaning more on the left side when making a left turn.Kudos to SLP. :

 

Well, mine should be here just in time for the weekend. Weekend project for me ! From what you've said, I sure am anticipating putting these on

Were you missing any parts. And did they look almost new?

P.S. You were so happy that it restricted me from posting for having too many smilies, lol

 

They look brand new with only minor scratches,the hardware(nuts ect),reused from existing material.Had the car aligned as well.Sorry about too many faces,still learning how to use computer.Should take a class I guess.(or read some rules).



Army

 

Your cars must've rode like crap for you guys to get excited about putting factory shocks back on the car.

 

lol, actually I won't know if it rides like crap till after I put them on. But my old ones used to skip CD's on the highway like it was cool. When people used to ask, I just said that is was sport's car suspension.... Hopefully it will be better.

 

Fishtailing gone.No more spinnin left and right.Predictable launch.Imagine that.Happy camper here.Must be the new and improved shocks and springs from the newer cars,but I dunno.

 

I bought a set of SLPs take off wheels and tires. For $619 delivered with lug nuts and caps too.

Three tires are stacked in my den, the fourth is still in the box. Two of the stacked tires still have full nipps on the tread.

the nipps on the tread of my dunlop snows lasted about 50 gentle highway miles. that should give you and idea, or confirm SLPs claim of about 5 miles on the take off parts.
