Shocks and Struts
Hello,
I’m about to put in new struts and shocks on my 91 Z28. I’m a college student on a budget planning on installing them myself, and I’m curious what brand would be best to go with. I’ve already checked out Monroe, Gabriel Ultra, and just heard about KYB. Will I need an adaptor kit to make it work? Also I’m considering installing sway bars, any advice there? Thanks! |
KYB is the best out of the three listed. Gabriel's are pretty much useless and Monroes aren't a whole lot better. I have Monroe Sensa-Tracs on my Z28 but I only bought them because I got a good deal on them.
Since you have a Z28 the sway bars are already plenty beefy enough. |
Go with the KYB struts & shocks the other are for your grandmother's car.

i had the sensa-tracs on my RS. It made it through inspections, but thats all they were good for. Not a very good shock IMO. Ive heard several good things about the KYB brand, however.
|
Honestly I don't have a whole lot of bad stuff to say about the Monroes. It gives a good ride, a little stiff, but the car handles extremely well. I got all 4 for under $100, so I'm not complaining.
|
well look at it this way. If your into takin twistys quick and smooth, dont do sensa-tracs. If your just looking for a stock/factory replacement. Those would work fine.
|
Thanks ya'll, this helped a lot!
