Shocks......again

[FredG]

Hi everyone.

I always enjoy coming here to share info and to learn. So far everything I have gleaned from these forums and applied to my car has resulted in some nice upgrades. Here's my next inquiry. I know the subject of replacement shocks, ride height, spring tension and cross weight has been kicked around on here before and I have read a lot of the threads. I have read recommendations about replacing the stock rear KYB with a few different kinds of shocks depending upon whether you plan on doing serious racing or not which I don't. My car is 5 years old with low mileage and has a nice ride for just around town but the suspension is not up to par when I expect more out of it which I do often. The rear shock recommendation that seems to come up the most as a replacement for the rears is the KYB KG5529 Gas-a-Just Gas Shock. From what I have read, the original shocks in the back originate from 60s era VW's. Not exactly what I would have expected on a 550 hp car. I haven't seen too much info about front shock/strut upgrades though other than some racing options. Like I said I don't seriously race the car but there are times the stock suspension isn’t getting it done for me. All advice appreciated. Thanks
