1) has anyone out there heard about or tried the kyb shocks and struts in the jc whintney catalog?what is the best,longest lasting shocks and struts? how hard are the struts to change on an '88 iroc-z? 2) how about the TITANIUMti22 disc brake pads? are they any good or are they a joke?what should i use? any advice or comments are appreciated!!!!!

Not bad products IMO. I installed the KYB standards front and back and can't complain. Helluva lot more smoother than the Gabriel gas riders that lasted a whopping 10,000 miles before they went mushy and pissed the hydraulic liquid all over causing me to fail inspection?!?!

After 15,000 miles so far, they feel like the day I installed them, so I give them a thumbs up especially for the price. I searched and searched for better deals on these and either Summit ( http://www.summitracing.com ) or performance suspention technologies prices were the lowest depending on the day of the year... I got mine from PST because they had a front and back package deal, but Summit is cheaper now I think. Price them online... http://www.p-s-t.com and see whats cheaper...

They're no Billsteins or Konis, but they're pretty good pieces.
