Replacing Shocks, Any Suggestions

[IrvJr]

Tell me that the rear shocks dont have any input on the front shocks performance, or vice versa and i'll shut up. You cant honestly say that. So your test is flawed.

And i was an ASE certified mechanic at one time. Wanna compare dick size next? You dont like KYB's lets just leave it at that.

The reason im not a mechanic anymore is i joined the military and got a much better job since i've been out. Never did i say that stock ride height was better for handling, thats just my preference. Stop putting word in my mouth. So i cant remember the shock rate, big deal. Your Nascar creds mean nothing on the street. Not many run such sophisticated set ups on the street. Those are totally different set ups one to turn left over and over and the other actually turns right and hits some bumps.
You never answered my basic question.

Do the rear shocks effect the front shocks performance?


And i wouldnt respond with childish comments if you werent looking down your nose and throwing out your Nascar creds. I ignored your insolent tone that you've been throwing out from your first post. So if someone disagrees they obviously dont know anything. That about right? Obviously i was being fecetious about the comparison. Whereas you alluding to my ignorance was a blatant personal jab that i dont appreciate. You have no idea of my education, intellect or experience in any matter to comment on them.

And the solid bushings on the upper a-arm. Is that a Nascar thing?

I demolished the KYB's I had in the front in less than a year...and they're ride is identical to monroe sensa-tracks with the only two differences are the monroes last longer and are less expensive than the junk KYB sells

agreed. though i found the monroes to ride a bit better.
i've used kyb's twice and while i didn't have them blow out i, they were rather soft after 3mon.

your afco's are interesting. i like how it's a race shock in a stock body to "fit" the rule book. but they seem to be for circle track? or am i just missing it? i want mine like a good woman--to go both ways :lol: and for $30 less than the bilsteins. do they hold up long term? the roads around here are nowhere near the greatest. dirt, rock, pothole, if you can hit it...
