What are some good factory replacement shocks? I need to buy new shocks soon, and I want something a little more firm than plain old replacements... but nothing too expensive or crazy.

Any ideas?

 

If your on a budget then Billsteins are the best bet.
But Koni's are worth the added expense esp. if you ever consider lowering the car.

 

Bilsteins are good, at a decent price- they were used as an up-market option on some of the SS Camaros . Sam Stano has re-valved ones that are F-body specific- Lifetime warranty, too-

Koni's are better, and more expensive- again, optional on some models- I think some of the 1LE cars came with them- the less expensive can only be adusted off the car, the top of the line ones are adjustable while still on the car-

 

I replaced my stock deCarbons with Bilsteins from the SLP Level 1 package and am happy with em.

 

I think koni's and SFC's should come from the factory on f bodies.
Cant imagine driving the car without them.

 

lol there's alot of things GM should/could have done with the F bodies... they have to be careful they dont just end up with a 4 seat corvette

Have you guys heard anything about these adjustable KYB AGX shocks?

Agreed! Everbody seems to forget that these were relatively inexpensive cars- if you wanted to spend the bucks, you could buy a 'vette- not to mention all the foreign high-buck stuff- these were 'bang for a buck' cars, vette drivetrains in a cheap unibody with plastic interiors-

Not bad-mouthing them, fun to drive cars, but they were never a high-end vehicle. They can run like one, though-

 

I,m interested in these as well.I would think these would be great esp.for lousy/broken roads and up here in northern climes,we have some of the worst!

 

a buddy of mine ran intrax springs and Kyb shocks. Rode like total ****. I would not buy them.

Call Sam Strano or visit www.stranoparts.com.

Before I buy any suspension related part I contact him. His advice is very useful.

 

Did he have the adjustable shocks? I could see that making all the difference depending on how you have them set.

I just want to be able to control body roll better.
