Long story short I am tired of the front shocks in my '96. I have three choises tho......1. Get Bell Tech new Nitro Actives or 2. Edelbrocks IAS shocks or 3. What I really want to do....I have 500 mile Bilstiens of my '94 Sport package. That package is supposd to have a 1" drop from the factory. If so I could use the Bilstiens w/o a problem then right. I have a 4"drop in front, but you cancle out 2" for spindles and then another for the 1" drop from the factory? Could I get away w/ using the Bilstiens w/o messing them up or sh*tty ride quality?

BTW all, I spoke to a guy at shox.com and he said I should be able to use the Bilstien's I have. Finally some good news.:) I will see how they work out this weekend. I would still like to hear some of your input tho.

you don't have to run shocks with bags at all in fact it gives you a faster lift and rebound without them.

I really don't care about speed, lift and other mumbo-jumbo of bags, but I have driven in bagged trucks w/ out shocks and gotten sea-sick. Anytime/anything you drive w/ out shocks is looking for trouble. I'm sure Tony will back me on this....the suspension pro!:D

EASY!:D If you can change a tire you can do the shocks. Just unbolt and reverse to install.

All kidding aside, It's great to see the people get up and go after that nut-bar, that clown had the his hands around the pilots neck, People on the plane said they seen the guy running towards the cockpit,..(i said cockpit) and they all got up and chased him, and 6 of them sat on him, untill they landed.:D

Do you think if one of the passengers killed that guy, that they would have gotten charged w/ murder? I don't think they would w/ all that has happened. I believe someone would try, but public out-cry would let him off. Just my .02.
