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?

Just did my struts this and shocks this weekend. I would say it's moderately difficult (although I did the ball joints and bearings while I was at it.) I would start soaking the bolts now. The most difficult part of the job was getting those two bottom bolts out of the spindle assembly.

The rears are a pain because you have to remove the rear seats and some panneling to get to the upper mounts. I would plan a whole day for this job.

I have no experience with KYB. From what I understand they are better then the OEM's you have.
