Ok I've been gathering information on shocks and I'm about ready to change mine. But first i have two questions. Should I change the front or the back first? Also.......where do you get performance shocks? Other than ordering offline, of course. But I have yet to find a single store that carries "performance" shocks for my car. All that they have is the stock ones. Like the KYB ones, I've been looking for those everywhere.......but they are nowhere to be found and even the places that sell them online don't say what they fit.
click this. it is a part of kybs' site that helps you find the places to buy them http://www.kyb.com/buy/index.html if clicking won't work, copy and paste into your browser. they only make gas a just for the front. i have g-2 kybs in back. scott
a better site: http://www.kyb.com/buy/index.html looks like front gas a just part number is KG4517 g-2 part number for rear is 343136. i wish they made them for the rear. anyhow, the prices look pretty goodon this site
advance auto parts is carrying edelbrock street stock race shocks for our mavs. but your going to pay about 80.00 dollars apiece for them the part numbers are front = 3326 rear = 3426
I was wondering about the Gas A Just shocks.......I'm assuming they're adjustable as the name hints at. How do you adjust them and what kind of adjustments are available?
uhhhhh yeah! same site. strange... different look. anyhow, they are not adjustable. they automatically adjust themselves to the conditions or so they say. actually they are pretty stiff, which is fine by me. about 38 plus shipping for the gas a just and the g-2 shocks are about half that. i am not saying they are the best out there but i sure love them.
I suggest you do the back shocks first. They would be real easy to do because you will be already back there changing those shackles anyways.
i would suggest doing the spring bushings first. you will already have the bolts out when you change the shackles. the new shocks will beat the rest of that old bushing out...frank...:bananaman :bananaman :bananaman :bananaman
