98 Toyota Avalon
Looking to upgrade the original sponges, I mean shocks, to something a bit more robust.
if I buy OEM replacements, I figure i'm just going to get the same wandering boat characteristics that I have now.
If I buy the coil overs, it's going to lower the car and be a rigid cavity shaker.
Where is the middle ground? Stock height, less bounce and body roll, and something that doesn't bottom out with 4 adults and suitcases in the trunk?
Installation:
anyone done this? is it a total tear down of the rear seat to do the back pair?
Looked at the Quick Struts from Monroe, for the front, looks as if I could save some hassle with these.
When I inquired about it at the stealership, they said 1500 an axle....ouch.
advice?
oh, anyone have a big brake kit?
I know lots of the Camry and Solara parts will work. Again, not looking for tuner parts. it's a Geezer Pleaser after all.
