Now would be a good time. The stock ones weren't the greatest ones to begin with so if you can afford it I would definitely upgrade to some new ones.

When I was reading the Gm site describing the "new" Fbodies in 2000, they described the suspension as being firm, but complient. I think mine is just complient by now. Ha ha ha

those are drag shocks screaming

Koni for Handling
Bilstien for Ride Quality (NOT TO BE USED WITH LOWERING SPRINGS)

and those ones screaming mentioned for drag use only.

I highly recommend koni if you want the car to handle, they are amazing!

I just finished going all the way around. Wow, what a difference! It goes where you point it much better now. I guess you know they've been on too long when the passenger front was black from the strut leaking and no rebound and the driver front having to be torched off the top mount. It was totally rusted on. Crazy!

Stayed with the sensa-tracks,lifetime warranty and all. I was afraid of a harsher ride if I went with a perf. shock.
Need your wheels,tars and some magnaflow pipes and I'll be set!
