shocks

although i already saw someone else has started a shock topic  i thought i best put my shock question in my own topic: art-corvette2007-03-25 09:52:45

Did the wobbling start only after you installed the monospring?

think it was worse before. but then again.. my steel leaf spring had flattened out already  although i haven't driven the car enough before restoration to make a compare  

What spring did you install? 330lb.? 360lb.? The higher rated springs actually work better with gas shocks. I think Bilstiens are the best. You shouldn't get wobbling with any good shock. I would check other causes also. Bent rims, bad tires, u-joints, maybe other suggestions will follow.

hmm..i think i have a 360lbs..but  it sure is the shocks that is bothering me .. i have everything replaced with new .. even tires...  but i won't say  the "wobbling" is se vere.. just compaired to the european cars i drive it feels a bit wobbling... something i don't like that much.

Art, it was recommended to me by Vansteel if I ran the bb springs in the front and the higher rated spring in the back, that I should install Bilsteins on all four corners to "balance it out" for the best ride. That would be the Bilstein Sport Shocks. They said if I stayed with the small block springs up front and lower rated spring in the back I would still get the best results with the Bilsteins, but if budget did not allow, a good replacement would be KYB G-2 Shocks.

I'm suprised that VBP recommended the ACdelco shocks.  When I bought my monspring (330) from them they recommended the KYB GR-2(VBP218 Rear)

 oops. Thanks Eddie. It is KYB GR-2, not G-2 like I posted before.
