so i realized that my front shock inserts are close to 20 years old according to previous owner records and i didnt replace them when i did my rear suspension upgrade . I have sprt bilistein in rear with stock sway bar and 100# springs, pretty stiff compared to front now and 5 lug fuchs, 205/55-16’s front and rear.
when i did the new front bushings etc and the turbo tierods i did the stock calipers and drilled 5 lug stock rotors from PMB , but left the strut inserts alone, but now 3-4 years later i can see one side is about 1/2” lower tto so before getting into the alignment proceedure i figured its time to get new struts inserts so, what brand ? and who has the best deal? leaning toward bilisteins too but what is the proper part number? and should they be “sport” to match rear? i have stock sway bar and will be putting on the new Tarrett drop links i got from group buy at Okteenerfest |
