Shock Recommendations

[Rage1973]

I have 98 Sport 2wd and the things rides extremely rough. I tired the edlebrock shocks when I was stationed in Germany they weren't to bad. But I think that I am going to replace them again. Anyone have a good recommendations for shocks that will improve the ride. Thanks in advance!!

A lot of people seem to like the monroe sensa-trac shocks. The best option would be to go to a coil-over front end that will make it ride a lot better. But the cost of that is $600-$1000 depending on what shocks and springs you go with.

i just threw some sensa tracs on, they ride pretty good and they aren't expensive either.

Depends, do you want a soft or firm ride? Do you tow anything or off road? If it's just highway driving, Monroe Reflex are an affordable replacement. If you are looking for more performance then the Bilstein Heavy Duty's are a great, durable shock that will last.

I used the Reflex on my old '00 Sport, and while the ride was improved over stock, I found them to be a bit stiff/harsh at times. I was told the Sensa Trac would have been a bit more "cushy". In retrospect, I should have got them and saved a few $$$ in the process.

That all being said, when I traded in my Sport on my current ride ('99 EB), I went with the Bilstein and have no regrets. They're firm, but plush at the same time if that makes sense. I'm pushing 4 years now and they're living up to their "hype". Definitely a worthy upgrade.

Thanks!! I think that I will give the Bisteins a shot.
