Front shocks for street driven car? What to buy?

[BLACKHAWK38]

Any Ideas, Gabriel Ultra from autozone are 20 bucks each, Bilstein are special order for 60 bucks each.

?IS the bilstein worth 3 times as MUCH??

Most guys will tell you that the Bilsteins are the way to go. I know that recently the Edelbrock IAS shocks have been spoken quite highly of as well.

yup, got bilsteins here in all four corners. they replaced some sensatraks that were still in pretty good useable shape (ended up on another g-body i had for a while). the difference between the two though was night and day.

I switched to Bilstein's from KYB's and noticed a significant improvement in the ride.

Easily.

The econo shocks are great for econo boxes. A performance car, needs a matching performance shock, IMO.

I did the same as Look Quick and totally agree.

FWIW & IMHO:
www.shox.com
lists a set of 4 "Bilsteins" for $ 219.80. They're in El Cajon, Ca.
Dunno about tax & shipping. I am getting ready to shock my car and I am torn between Bilstein & KYB. I do not want quite as stiff a ride as on my Z06.
