Not Ranked
Just thought I would update on what I am doing.,my CR was built in 1992, and only has 8000 miles, but due to it's age, things like spring isolators and 4 link bushings crack or dry out, shocks probably loosing gas etc. I decided to start with brand new aftermarket upper and lower control arms with poly bushings, new spring isolaters, and new KYB Gas Adjust Shocks ( for jeep Cj5), as my car came with Monroe shocks for a Mercury Villager. I am also going to install larger bump stops , just tall enough to prevent tires hitting wheel wells.
My reasoning was this, the for link was designed to have separate springs and shocks, so I was concerned about re-inventing the wheel by going just coil overs.
I will drive the rest of the season with this set-up too see how she feels,handles. If by winter I am still not happy, I will re-consider going to coilovers.
