Hi. Since this is fairly new to me so I wanted ask about this, the “coil over” shocks. I will probably be replacing the rear shocks in our ‘89 245 wagon soon. Right now are some "standard" KYB’s which seemed ok for the past years., nothing special about them, but they are in fact getting weak.. Oh also I installed some of IPDs heavy-duty anti-sway bars (front and back) a while back.

As far as the “coil-overs‘, is it just another gimmick" or can one get some good use from them, like are they “stronger“, meaning do they handle the roads and loads better than "regular shocks” and “hold up” longer?? I haven’t checked prices yet and that could also be a deterrent in getting them. Thanks.
