Owner reviews for shock absorbers
I went with the Koni Red shock absorbers front and rear and am very pleased so far. I just got around to installing these a couple of months ago and have had a few trips and the ride quality is night and day difference. I also raised the front by tightening the torsion bars so the vehicle is nearly level with a slight rake (front lower). The ride is smooth and not harsh (no more bottoming out) with much less body roll on corners. The fronts were set one click from the hardest setting and the rear at 2 from the hardest setting.
I have bilstien hr shocks and struts for my h&R's and I have no complaints.
I've had koni yellows with VWR springs for 3 weeks now with front and rear shocks on full firm. The front shock adjustment is easy, and the difference in a quater turn can be felt. Rear shocks can be adjusted, but require removal to do it.
Here's my Sensen review.
I've had mine on for a month now, in my opinion the ride is very firm...but not bouncy. Exactly what I wanted. The ride height is perfect, it's obvious that it is lowered (two fingers from tire to wheel arch), but still daily drivable.
I replaced them with Koni SRT.T with H&R Springs for the same money.... moral of the story... if you're going to buy coils, dont cheap out.
We have an '04 LT with the magentic shocks and it's a surprisingly good ride for a truck.
I've had the chance to daily Billstein shocks w/Eibach springs...with stock shocks w/HR drop springs...The Bill and KW setups had/have Meyle HD front bushings and R32 control arm bushings.
The KYB shocks I ordered from them had the wrong bushings, both front and back sets.
