An added thought - I would have gotten the Koni's - but I am just too cheap.
I have always wanted Koni's - and some day will get them. But too many other things draining my bank account.

Re: HYDRASPORT Hydraulic Shocks from Vick's
When you installed the Hydrasport shocks, did it lower the car and is the car level from one side to the other. Also, how is the ride with the shocks from Vick's?

Re: HYDRASPORT Hydraulic Shocks from Vick's
I did them at different times - with the shocks being first. I do not recall any big drop in height with the shocks - the old KYB's were way past their time.
I rebuilt the front suspension - everything including the terrible bushings on the front sway bar. Cannot believe that we actually got the sway bar back.
in the rebuild put back on the Vicks shocks and AR's springs.
The height did drop down some. Do not know if the height is exact from side to side - but have no clue if the car originally was exact. Looks fine to me.
I like the ride. Does not seem rough. BTW am running 205-60-13 Toyo Proxes.
I just cannot believe with the new front end, shocks, springs and tires how this corners. Very happy. What a difference to when I bought the car 1.5 years ago (but also what a lot of time and money to get it to this point).
