New shocks - input please
Need to get new rear shocks for my 87 z28. Whats a good replacement/ all around shock that wont break the wallet. I was looking at KYB Gas-a-just
but dont know much about KYB.
Or the 40301 - Lakewood Drag Shocks & Struts 50/50 rear shocks.
However its not like my little 305 is putting out much power so should I just go to napa and get the sensatrac replacement and call it a day?

Go with the KYBs. My last two cars and I would choose them for a really good shock at less money.
Re: New shocks - input please
I went with the KYB GR-2 front struts and the KYB Gas-adjust rear shocks for the best bang for the buck. After checking the wallet busting price for bilstien & Konis the KYBs are the best buy for a Performance set-up. After a month of driving after the installation I am happy with the KYB choice.
Question...Why are you not replacing the front struts and doing just half the job???
