well i just got a set of sportline springs...and i was wondering...i know i will need a phr..but is it nessecary to get new shocks as well? i have a 94 trans am gt and from what ive heard the shocks are upgraded form the stock decarbons in the gt model..is this true? thanks in advance

 

Yes, buy some revalved Bilsteins.

Sportlines will rape your stock decarbons, GT or not.

 

ouch thats pricy, do i have to get them right away?

 

Springs and shocks work together as a system, so they should be "sized" to work together. Your car will handle better by upgrading your shocks. If you have over 50K miles on the stock shocks, they could already be leaking (one of my DeCarbons was leaking when I yanked it at 42K). Give Sam Strano a call or visit stranoparts.com, he's a F-Body suspension expert.

 

300$ isn't bad for a quality shock set. No, not "right" away, but the decarbons wont last long, and the ride will be crap in the meantime.

 

awsome ya it JUSt rolled over 50,000 k's when i put it i storage....i apprecate the help guys i'll give this guy a shout

 

if you are going with sportlines just get bilstein hds. You dont need them revalved for the sportlines.

 

perfect, how much does a set usualy run for

 

like 329 from strano and 20-29 shipping or so.

 

KYB AGX are cheaper, and they look cool too...just like decarbons!!

any way, dont think you'll be stuck with bilsteins because there are alternatives.

 

but are 'kyb's as good at blistiens? will i notice that much of a difference
