What shocks and springs to get?


Stryker

Recommended Posts

Ok I have a 1973 with stock suspension, and it so needs a complete upgrade. I am all over the road with bumps (exaggerating a little bit). So I want to put in new struts spring and Bushings. Is there anything else I should be doing? and what products would be good to get. I want to get some decent quality stuff but money is an object. So I know of Tokico and KYB but I would really like your guys input on what is good for a good price. I don’t really need adjustable unless it really makes a difference. So if you have any input post it up thanks alot.

My Z has Tokico non-ajustable shock and lower springs, but i haven't ride in the car yet because it is still in storage. I'm waiting for the snow to go awaaaaaaaaaaaay... Can't help you to give a feedback from my ride...:(

I went with the Tokiko non-adjustable strut inserts - they were the most reasonably priced back when I was looking around. I also went with Suspension Techniques springs - they supposedly only lower the car about 1.5 inches. After 30 years, the old, tired original springs were already sagging the 1.5 inches, so I can't tell any difference between the before and the after look.

I also replaced all of the old rubber bushings, including the steering rubber, with polyurethane while doing the suspension project. The handling improvement was significant.

Good luck with your project.
