So I finally got around to ordering new shocks.........police/taxi
Ordered a set of KYB fronts for the '86 Tudor........"gas-mono-tube"

Opinions?

There a good shock that a bunch of people here run.

Personally I think there a bit stiff to match with the stock springs, but that's just me.

I was getting sea-sick every time I went over a dip in the road:-(

I have them in my car on all four corners (The gas-a-justs) as well as the heavy duty springs. It's a stiff ride for sure. Originally I had economy monroes in the back and the KYB's just in the front and that was a death wish. The rear end was wayyy too soft and would wander. Changing to KYBs all around has been good.

The only things that you may not like is that you know as well as I do that these NY roads suck ass... with the stiff shocks you feel every one of the potholes.

I run Gas-A-justs front and back on the '92 MGM with stock springs. I like them. You do feel more of the bumps, cracks and holes with them, though.

Sly didn't like them on the back of his '88 with cargo coils, but I have the same combo on my '90 and feel it's ok.

Slack......LOL.......driving my Avanti on NY roads........like I am in a cement truck, brutal....in fact when I get back into the Tudor, I think I am in a Rolls I am only putting in fronts as cash is tight....did rears about ten yrs ago, and the back does not bounce more than one after pushing down on the trunk.

It's been a while since I checked but I think the CV has 45psi in the rear and 40 in the front.

The Oldsmobile is around 35 all around.

45????? wow that sounds kinda high?

it'll be down around 35 for unpacking in spring I would think for typical rubber bleed through. Helps keep the tires from getting flat spots.
