What front shocks should I get.

[KLaBZ28]

Due to my front tires bouncing off of a curb and sending my car onto the guardrail, my front end now makes a loud tick. So I decided maybe I should get new front shocks and outer tie rod ends since I need an alignment too. The control arms and everything looks fine. What kind of shocks should I get for the front?

hmm you recommend those? How they ride? :D

[96lt1m6]

very nice,firm but not annoying.

If you want the best, go with a set of Koni shocks.

If you want a well performing budget shock, go with KYB AGX shocks.

As said above great street performance shock is Koni. If you plan on doing much drag racing KYB AGX is a good budget starter, or for a little more $ but better quality, single or double adjustable Strange or QA1.

Just ordered 4 new AGX shocks and struts for front and rear :D
Around $400 not badddd

R Series QA1's here, love them and well worth the money. Just make sure to get the 300lb springs at least if you have no front end weight reduction on a Lt car..

Well, I was just gonna use the stock springs.

we dont have struts! But u should lower it. get rid of that fender gap!

Are you sure the shocks are bad?

[KLaBZ28]

freeken whatever! they say struts on the box. lol
yea how would some eibach pro kit springs work with my shocks?

yea im pretty sure the right front is bent but the other 3 should be fine. i just upgraded the fronts since im getting an alignment anyway so i got rears too. :D

yea im pretty sure the right front is bent but the other 3 should be fine. i just upgraded the fronts since im getting an alignment anyway so i got rears too. :DYeah my next suggestion would be to replace the whole set or buy factory replacements so your not running weird spring rates on teh front causing the front end to be too loose or too stiff.

Not only would it affect handling but it would also affect braking.

[KLaBZ28]

yea i should be fine with this setup, right? lol

97Z28 has the AGX shocks on stock springs I believe. I'll ask him to comment on them next time I run into him.

I don't like the prokit, so I can't suggest it. Are you gonna just run stock springs or ???

[KLaBZ28]

Yes I'm just using my stock springs and putting in the new shocks.
