I see KYB $36, Sachs for $122(parts geek), Koni $176, Bilistein $190 and Bilistein sport for $ 220.
Thinking about Sachs, has anyone here used them? - I have Bilistein in rear with stock springs and swaybar. They are really firm and i wish they were a bit less firm, but I also have 16”Fuchs in 205/55 tires and that makes the ride firm compared to the 14” 914/6 Fuchs I ran for a while, those taller sidewalks gave a soft ride . I’m not changing tires and rims so is the front KYB junk? And is Sachs at $122 per a good stock replacement? Phil - Paragon has Koni sport on sale for $171. |

On another note... how long do shocks last? I have Blilstein HD shocks that are 15 years old.
So far I have been happy with them. I am currently running 21mm torsion bars, but I am going to swap them out for 18.8mm 911 torsion bars with 911 A arms. |
