Hello Everyone,

I've been looking around for upgrading my shocks. I saw there aren't that many options besides an entire suspension overhaul kit which is like 800 dollars. So far I can only find shocks with sensa drive but they are twin tube. Anyone got any ideas where I can explore other options?

Are you looking for upgrades or just oem replacements?

Just want to remind you to make sure to get an alignment after installing the shocks.

just replaced the rear shocks with the nitrogen monroe sensa track. It really stiffened up the back alot. It barely flexs when you press done on the trunk. You almost deform the metal before it it gives, no oscillation at all.

The ride was pretty good but i noticed that the fronts need a little help. On cement highway at like 65 all the bumps in the road from the 100 strips were causing a bouncing in the front which stopped by the time it reached the back.

Handling improved a little with the rear shocks. I'm debating the rear sway bar now.

anyone have thoughts on kyb vs monroe shocks?
I've gotten some apex springs (lowering 32mm) that I want to install along with new shocks in the spring. should I go ahead and get camber bolts now or wait until I get the alignment to see if I need them?

I error on the caution of getting them now.
