this is why im just going to put on some KYB GR2's.

cheap ($100) for all 4 shocks. in the past year ive only put on 800 miles, plus its a vert and theres plenty of body twist as it is. i dont want to put anything too stiff and just watch it fall apart from shaking haha.

also its the stock 289 2V

 

I didn't see anyone address your question on "old school look" Back in the day we ran G60-14s on 8" ET Slots. Used Gabriel Hi-Jackers to raise the rear end.

The car rode like crap, and changed the front end alignment it felt like it was going to fall over in a turn. Sometime an air line would fail and it would come crashing down on one tire that was sticking out of the wheelwell..

but man we looked cool

 

yeah thats not good james haha

 

LOL, too-wide tires, Gabriel Hi-Jackers, and extended shackles. That car screams 70's :P

 

THANKS FOR THE GREAT IDEAS. SO WHAT IM HEARING IF I DRIVING ALOT,I NEED TO JUST REPLACE SHOCKS,SPRINGS AND LEAFS. BUT WHAT IF I TRIED TO QUICK FIX WITH JUST SHOCKS( would that be a bad idea?)

 

i replaced my shocks for gas-a-just and now im rubbing tyres with people in the back.
What I had before were shocks that had helper springs. basically a coil around the shock.

So until I get new leaf springs (shipment to europe is no fun) I probably have to put that old crap back in.

 

I'd strongly recommend against it, yes. And leafs = springs.

 

Sort of like putting a band-aid on a cut that needs stitches.
