Time for New Shocks

Post by The_Eman »

It is my daily driver. I'm going to replace the radius bushings next week and since the front end is a bit bouncy I thought I would change the shocks as well. I'm also thinking of replacing the front coil springs as well but I need to measure the front end to see if it is sagging on one side or not. Visually it seems like it is lower on the drivers side. My cousin is going to help me and he is a mechanic. We are going to take it into the dealership he works at and I thought I might as well change as much as necessary while I have him by my side. Or me by his side.

Any recommendations on a good pair of shocks.
