Ok, I bought my car with 106k on it. The underneath is a tad rusty all surface though nothing bad. Anyway, The shocks all look newish, they all look like theyve been on a little while but still stand out as a newer part. The back of the car seems like it sags a little, and I was wondering if the struts/shocks are spent, not sure the brand, there just orange. I did look at them for a little while and theyre not leaking or anything, I think theyre just cheapos that are bad. But my question is does anyones lese rear sit lower than the front on all stock suspension? And if I do need struts shocks, how hard is it to do myself and what are a good set to buy. Also, I have no intentions of lowering the car.

Also, I have no intentions of lowering the car.just because they look new doesn't mean they weren't possible takeoffs from someone else's car and cleaned up even tho you say no lowering I'll still say koni single adj all around. I had the back/middle of my '94 Z done(was in a rush) with bmr t/a 4l60e reloc mount, bmr adj. phb(stock was bent ..I dunno how that could happen ), bmr adj t/a, and spohn poly/xmr12 lcas. A pr of moog problem solver rear end links and a pr of koni 8241-1140 Sport shocks keeping the original stock springs. Need to do the front as the tail feels solid but the front is wallowy (konis aren't cheap :() just need to get fundage back up to do it. After doing the aforementioned the car is back to a back to front rake.

as i have been doing a lot of research in to suspension lately i can say Konis or QA1's would be the best depending on your funding though. Konis are about $300 for a pair, and QA1's are a little more.
