Stock Struts and Shock Replacement Recommendations
Okay, my 1985 Z28 Camaro has 56,900 original miles and I am near positive that the struts and stocks are oem. The remainder of the suspension is 100% original as well. This is not a race car and harsh rides are definitely not wanted.
All that said, does anyone have a US manufactured strut and shock recommendation?
Thank you in advance for your suggestions.

If you want stockish, get some Monroes
If you want better, get KYB
If you want better better, the sky's the limit.

Re: Stock Struts and Shock Replacement Recommendations
I can order you up some AGX's at cost. They are adjustable for ride quality/dampening. I have a set on my 86 and they are excellent.
There are no US manufacturers of this stuff anymore that I know of.
