Which Shocks?

What shocks would yall recomend for me just for the front?(remember, its lowered) I went up to Advance auto and they have KYB gas-a-just(think thats the name?) for $40ish. Good price or not? Should I look further?

I like the KYB's because they have a slighter better than stock feel, I have always purchased them through Summit Racing for about $30 each, give it a shot and good luck

Yeah, I used the Gas-Adjusts when I rebuilt my suspension. Summit has then a little cheaper as Lou said, but shipping will run around $10, so if you want to install them this weekend just buy them locally.

are the gas-adjusts stiffer than the GR2's? I think I have the GR2s right now, but I would like something a little stiffer but don't want to go to a full comp suspension.

Thanks

I beleive the Gas-A Justs are a bit stiffer, the GR2's are KYB's economy class shocks, and the Gas-A-Just are a perfomance notch higher than those!

Thanks everybody! I need to do a little more work to get a little more $$ before I can buy them(just bought tranny gasket set, and have to buy a back window).... so I guess Im goin with the gas-adjust!

Evan, if you search the forums you will find this subject discussed quite a bit, with lots of opinions on GR2's vs the Gas-A-Justs vs other stuff.

FWIW, I bought the GR2's (front & rear) from Summit for around $90 bucks including shipping. Some day I may even install 'em!

Back window is a $10.00 piece of Plexiglass!!! BTW, still sweeping up pieces of your old back window up in the garage and pickup bed!

Check the yellow pages for plastic. Lowes and Home Depot may be more. I got a piece fairly cheap from a local plastics company...

Just do as Sid says, call around with the measurements. They all have a scrap pile of pieces too small to sell. You could get lucky.
