Re: C4 Shocks

Ken, you can have Bilstein rebuild your shocks for no more than $125 each.

Go to www.bilsteinus.com and click on 'services.'

Good luck.

Re: C4 Shocks

I had a 92 with 30K on the clock. It also had bistien shocks on it also. I have no experience with the other shocks but I recommend that you keep it stock.

Re: C4 Shocks

98k miles and it has the original shocks and spark plug wires. In one sense that's cool and the primary reason I bought the car (well okay, it's the second reason, the first being it was so cheap) but it also speaks to how poorly maintained this car has been over its life. I haven't looked yet but I wouldn't be surprised to find the original spark plugs in the car.

Floyd the owners manual for your and my LT4 says for both the Short Trip/City Maintenance Schedule and the Long Trip/Highway Maintenance Schedule to change the spark plugs at 100,000 miles and only inspect the spark plug wires at 100,000 miles.

These are the originals on my 1995 LT1 with 27,000.

Re: C4 Shocks

My question is, is there a good replacement shock that will give the same performance but at a little lessor costs. Ken

You can get new Bilsteins from the usual catalog suspects for a reasonable price. This is just one example:

http://www.ecklers.com/product.asp?pf%5Fid=22653&dept%5Fid=239

Their catalog says you can get a set of four for $279.00 US

Re: C4 Shocks

Thanks to both Bruce and Floyd for the info. I will look into having them rebuilt and comparing that with purchasing from Ecklers or others for the best option. By the looks of it I am probably going save a little bit if I replace all four.

Again thanks for the help fellas.
