    New struts/shocks

    I was thinking about getting new struts/shocks on my car. What brands do you
    recommend ? It's for my csx-t, I want a ride that will hug on turns but also absorb pothole vibrations.

    I really have to make an article on this.

    You have a few options.

    I've tried most of them, Gabriel, KYB, Sensatrac's, Bilstein and they are all close in performance. If your lowering it, don't get the Stracs.

    If you can afford it, then go with the AGX and a Rancho adjustable rear shock, search for the thread.

    I don't know about the Gabriels tman. I put a set on a GTS with the sport suspension and it was like a baby buggy ride. The old OEM had a better ride. I went with Monroe and they were good.

    Re: New struts/shocks

    I put Gabriel Ultra's on my Daytona Shelby, front and rear, they are nice and firm. I've only put a couple hundred kms on the car, but I'm very happy with them so far. Best part is they didnt cost an arm and a leg, I got them from AutoZone in Detroit, rear shocks were $23 a piece, the front struts were $48 a piece.
