    Best shocks for potholes

    I have 18" wheels and had 31.5" total diameter tires that worked well with poor tuning radius. I dropped down to 31" Cooper Evolutions and feel a lot more bumps. Hard to believe that .5" would make much difference. I believe these Coopers have a stiff sidewall, though. Yeah, I got educated on...

    Best shocks for potholes

    TBIGUYS - Check out this site ....TEIN.co.jp/e: Mono-Tube vs Twin-Tube - SPECIAL. It convinced me to go with the Gabriel Ultra Shocks since I do not go off-roading. Otherwise, I would have chosen the Gabriel Max Control as suggested by kenthewelder. Previously, I had dismissed any gas shocks. No...

    Kenny - Do you have any thoughts comparing the Gabriels to Monroe Sensa Trac or Monroe original equipment?

    What shocks do I buy?

    Seems to me that nobody gave you any great advice on what shocks to go with. I too am looking for a comfortable ride on a stock vehicle (with larger tires, don't know how much that affects things). I was going to go with the Bilstein 4600s but feel they may be a little too stiff for my liking...

    Thanks for the replies. I guess I'll save my hard earned cash for future problems.

    New TBI for '93, 5.7?

    Nothing wrong to my knowledge. Is your take (& df2x4) that a tbi can and perhaps should continue to work more than adequately after 27 years of use and there would only be a minimum amount of improvement gained by replacing it with a new one. I originally wanted to replace the cam. But I have...

    New TBI for '93, 5.7?

    Would I benefit much by installing a new tbi in my 245,000 mile engine? Recommendations on what to install?

    Still, a hell of a lot cheaper than going almost any other route! Your step side becomes a rarer timeless vehicle everyday. Enjoy the ride; you have earned it!
