Where have you found the cheapest place to get the KYB shocks? Also, I was reading that on other cars, when people lowered them, the front tires tilted way out, lots of camber. DO i need to worry about this? If that happens, what do I need to do to fix it?

PST has them for 350 a set, the cheapest I've seen. Camber amount is adjusted when you get your car front end alighned after lowering.

Not sure where the cheapest KYBs are, but Bilstiens are only 350 for the set, and I like them over KYB. (but bone daddy is the other way )

They should tilt in not out when lowered, but I think with the the suspension is I dont htink a camber kit is needed, but dont quote me on that.

#1 - I am right, and Xride is payed under the table by Bilstein.

#2 - The most expensive I've seen is 400$.

#3 - No, you don't need a camber kit, with the sportlines all you need is to have it re-alighned.

I like bilsteins, they are a quality shock, just not with sportlines. How do you sleep at night Xride? You and your filthy bilstein bribe money!

but your payed under the table by KYB....

The shocks are still the same age regardless of the mileage on your car. I would just wait on the spring install until you can purchase new shocks.

Xride: Actually it's just to the side of the table, the KYB rep has a bad back.

Black_Z28: Actually, not really. The more mileage/age or wear on the car, the more worn out the shock. What I meant was with only 26,000 miles the shock probably had some descent stiffness to it, even if he's ragged it a bit. The sporlines have a failry high spring rate, and normally kill shocks showing their age, but his shocks appear to be descent. (so it sounds anyway) So I suggested he could possibly wait a bit before getting new shocks, but not for a "long" period.

I agree, stockers should last the summer anyways, might not be the best, but they shouldnt be that bad.



Bonedaddy, damn, my reps been making me struggle all the time, he likes to go places that have huge talbes

Whats PST

I don't see any shocks there... I must be missing something. How do I find them, I dont see them under suspension parts.

I'll do it this time, but 2 more strikes and I'm kicking you off the intArweb.

Click:

online catalog > .GM, Ford and Mercury, Chrysler, Dodge, and plymouth section > KYB AGX gas shocks > KYB Adjustable AGX Gas Shocks for Sports and Imports > 93-01 Camaro

They have went up to 389$ though, dunno why. Must be getting more popular, I should get a commission Xride! You can get the Bilsteins for 350$ but like I said before the ride is total crap, (with sportlines, to me and others) and no adjustment.

hmm good point, I dont know how the bilstiens will do with the sportlines, but with the prokit they are freaking great.


I think we would make a good pair of mods eh Bone.

I had the bilstein/sportline combo before the KYB, it wasn't pretty, not pretty at all...

Good? we'd be the dynamic freakin duo!





[edit] Fun Fact: I'm a mod/super mod at 4 forums out of 5. One of which killerjello, and a few others here post on.

Don't worry about too much negative camber (top of tire tilted in) when you lower it. The most you'll get will be about -1.5. Pretty good for handling without wearing the tires too bad. Of course, you could have it re-aligned to take some camber back out.
