I finally sold my truck so I'm gonna get some well needed upgrades. I'm planning on buying the eibach springs, adjustable panhard bar, steering box, shocks and struts and of course a fuel sending unit

Now my question is do I have to get any specific shocks/struts with lowering springs or could I get away with the KYB gas-a-just(in the back) and GR-2(in the front)

88 TA

 

The KYBs are a good replacement for worn out stock shocks and are a good budget option. Not knocking them, that's what I've got on my own setup.

If you're going for performance, Koni tends to be the common setup around these parts.

 

I was looking at koni, but they're pretty "up there" in price

I mostly just want better ride quality, I still have the stock struts in it and Monroe sensa-trac's in back and i believe the stock back shocks were more comfortable......I'm never going Monroe again

 

Monroes are going to be softer than the KYBs; if I remember right, the KYBs are somewhere around 10-15% stiffer than OE

 

I have that setup on my car too. It rides real nice. But still doesn't handle like some of my buddies cars with better shocks/springs.

 

You have the Monroe's or the kyb

 

KYB's and the Eibach Pro Kit.

 

Ok because I'm looking for more ride quality than performace at the moment

Also, when you lower it is there anything thing else I need to get? Originally I was told all I need is an adjustable panhard bar, but a guy at work said I'd have to get the adjustable rear control arms, torque arm, aftermarket A arms in the front etc

 

lowering 1-2" with springs won't require any of that; just the phb to center the rear under the car

you may need to check the angle of the LCAs depending on how much you lower things; you MAY need relocating brackets

 

I will try to get some pics for you today. Along with some of my upgrades that made a huge difference.

 

I only plan on lowering it an inch or so

 

We can help you with an adjustable PHB and whatever else you need.

Yea i had my eyes set on the on-car adjustable panhard bar and the non-adjustable control arms
