Alright I have yet another question. My Camaro has Bilstein shocks on it and are in need of replacement. But they are so expensive, I dont have a problem spending the money if they are worth it. But my question is are there any other brands out there that are just as good, but maybe a little cheaper?

bilsteins have a lifetime warranty, dont they? and I would say they are by far the best.

Bilstein is the only "inexpensive" shock you will want to consider. But yes, they do have a lifetime warranty to the original owner. How many miles are on your shocks and how do you "know" they are bad?

agree with liberty, they are a less expensive high quality shock. if you want better go with koni. might call sam and see if he rebuilds em. koni is rebuildable.

Well the car has 150,000 miles on it and I have owned since 80,000 miles. And neither the previous owner or me have had the shocks replaced.

mine were the same way, original equipment and 17 years old. just the new shocks and i thought i had a new car. the sway bars from strano made almost as much difference. outer tierod ends and all the play in the wheel went away.
