shocks

[52vincent]

My mechanic says I need new rear shocks. Should I do the fronts at the same time? Any manufacturer recommendations?

I would. This is a good time to decide if you want to use lowered springs as you'll probably want to go with matching shocks.

Word of advice, don't get the Bavarian Autosport springs, they bottom out a lot on rough pavement.

I'll be switching to something else soon. I have Bilstein Sports and they work great.

One word: KONI.

Two words Bitchin' Bilstein

Bilstein aren't as good as KONI on our cars. The type to get in either brand depends on your springs and budget

But: how are your tie rods and bushes?

Yes- replace all 4 each time- and with our cars spring pads and rear mounts at the same time.
