I agree that everyone has their own preferences, so my advice is you won't go wrong either way. I recently installed 4 of the Bilstien touring class shocks and I'm very happy with them.

I also replaced my front bushings. Some with poly, some with rubber.

The overall change has been a significantly improved handling. The ride is about the same.


You will definatly need spring compressors. Go to an autoparts place and try to rent or borrow them. If not, look on ebay.

It took me many hours to get the first one out and less than an hour on the second. Practice makes perfect I guess.

good luck.
