Just jumping back into the J-body stuff again after a few years as I am giving the twin charged car to my sister since it;s been sitting for almost 2 years now and I want to take the coilovers off and put something a bit softer/smoother on it.
I remember way back when I bought a set of Koni Yellows, I had to cut my OEM shocks/struts and slide the Koni's into them. Are there any companies that offer a complete replacement shock/strut for the J-body's?
Also since I have been out of the Jbody world for a while now, I am looking for any suggestions on a Shock/Spring combo that gives a nice look as well as a soft and smooth ride since she isnt into racing at all and it already has 1" front & rear sway bars.
This is currently what I am looking at, but would rather a complete shock set up that doesn’t require cutting up an OEM shock.
Koni Yellows/Springs Sport Kit (1" front & 1.75" rear)
The First Twin Charged jbody
blue car (R.I.P) - 240whp @7psi..
silver car - 305whp 315lbs.tq @15psi (91 Octane) or 420whp & 425lbs.TQ @20psi (94 octane+Alcohol Injection)
All dynos run on a Mustang dyno
Tokico D-specs are direct replacement lowering shocks
Springs are going to be dependant on your bumpers and what clearance you have..
so then there is always all the coilover options, Tein Basics, Tein SuperStreets, STD R3, Ground Control with Dspecs.
Thank you... I will take a look at them...

Are the KYB AGX a full replacement or do i need to cut up the oem shocks and slide them in?

Full replacement. IMO if you want a full replacement strut these would be the best. Over all though Koni are still a bit better.
