For $100 more you get the Bilstein shocks and they should be way better...

man i don't have that much money yet what is the differnece between the two is monroe even worth buying

Well, I don't know what kind of car you have? 4th gen? 3rd gen?

I do know however that Bilstein and Koni have a far better reputation than Monroe and I have a combination of Koni and Bilstein on my own car.

i got a thrid generation 85 camaro i think it would be best to go for blisten then i just want better control right now i have then orginal 85 shocks on their and i have 92 camaro rims and tires on it so the shocks aren't putting enought presure down to keep the tires on the ground so it walks all the time and is can be out of control sometimes.

BenZ28 · **Posted:** Thu Mar 02, 2006 2:49 pm

OK, I'm not so familiar with the 3rd gen but I guess you'd be satisfied with the Bilsteins (Konis are more expensive and not needed in your situation).

thanks alot thats what i put the post up for to get help and a better product i just won't buy the lowering springs yet next paycheck one more thing do you think i should replace the coils at the same time

BenZ28 · **Posted:** Thu Mar 02, 2006 2:56 pm

Well with a 4th gen I'd recommend not to replace the springs unless you want to lower the car. If you want better handling I'd recommend (apart from the shocks) different sway bars.

yeah sway bars are later down the road and i am going to buy some lowering srings because the regular v-6 coupe sits alot higher then a z28 and it makes it look wierd

man i was lookin at that site you gave me and all they had was monroe shocks for my car The only places i could find blisten shocks was on the blistein web site nad they would have cost like a grand too much for me

Don't rely on the website. Write a mail or call, Strano carries many parts that are not on the website.

i went and got the monroe shocks because the blistein where like 1000 bucks so i will just upgrade to them when i get the chance i had to buy them because the bidding was done on e-bay

Hi,
I replaced shocks on my 87 z28 by Monroe. But I did'nt like them.
I think it's better to pay more and to have a better shocks.
for my 91 z28 I'd like to buy Bilstein shocks, I think it's a good product.
I understand you because I have the same problem that you and the price is important, right.

yeah too bad i already bought them but money is tight but it will be the first thing i buy when i get some doh
