Ladies and gentlemen,
I will order tomorrow all sorts of suspension and steering parts for tired suspension of my '92. I have pretty much all other things sorted out but the shocks leave me scratching my head.
Car will be pretty much just a "poser" with a fresh Up Country copy springs Moog CC782 and Crown 4886186AB. Tires will be 235/75R15, perhaps Goodyear Wrangler AT/SA or similar. I would like it to have good road manners - suspension does not need to be soft, though.
My short list is as follows:
Gabriel Max Control 77424
Gabriel Max Control 77425
or
KYB Excel-G 344088
KYB Excel-G 344089
or
KYB Monomax 565053
KYB Monomax 565054
or
Bilstein 4600 24-010450
Bilstein 4600 24-010467
These are what I can get easily.
KYB Excel-Gs are pretty much stock replacement shock whereas Monomax is Heavy Duty - this according to KYB.
Set of Bilsteins is over twice what Gabriels and KYBs cost.
Are Bilsteins worth the extra cost?
Would I even notice the possible difference in the ride between these shocks?
Which would you recommend?
