Need shock input.

CKTA · 10-08-2001, 11:41 AM

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?

get air bags and forget shocks all together

CKTA · 10-08-2001, 02:19 PM

Last time I checked you need shocks w/ bags.

CKTA · 10-08-2001, 02:29 PM

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.

CKTA · 10-08-2001, 02:40 PM

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!

Arghhh.. I have my edelbrocks sitting here wanting to be installed... How hard is it to install the front ones anyways???

CKTA · 10-08-2001, 02:52 PM

EASY!

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

ChevyOnAir · 10-08-2001, 03:00 PM

Awesome... sheesh my friend was telling me that the front is hard as hell to do!! I figured it wasnt.. thanks :)

10-08-2001, 03:32 PM

You made fun of me with that place, now you want to call the guy and ask questions.

CKTA · 10-09-2001, 06:52 AM

Are you retarded? When did I say that? Matter a fact I called the guy about prices when we first talked about 4 months ago. What the hell are you

?

454ss · 10-09-2001, 07:48 AM

Hey it's not nice to make fun of of retarded people, didn't they teach you that in reform school

CKTA · 10-09-2001, 07:50 AM

No! you retarded

!

454ss · 10-09-2001, 08:08 AM

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 ****pit,..(i said ****pit) and they all got up and chased him, and 6 of them sat on him, untill they landed.

CKTA · 10-09-2001, 08:14 AM

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.

CKTA · 10-09-2001, 08:25 AM

Screw the rock bottom and go for cloths-line from hell (ala bradshaw) and finsh him up w/ the last-ride!

CKTA · 10-09-2001, 08:29 AM

Or the Power-bomb from Nash! DAMN!

CKTA · 10-09-2001, 08:34 AM

I'd like to put you in the ankle-lock and make your blue ass tap!

Oh, it's true, It's DAMN true!
