Restoration of Rear Suspension -Stock or Upgrade

A few thousand miles ago one of the front struts failed and I had both fronts replaced. Now I think the rears are getting tired. I'm not one for lowering but I would like to know is there an upgrade that would keep the stock look but provide better handling? Thx

Your best bet would be to get replacement shocks with an adjustable setting.

Since you just had your fronts replaced there wouldnt be much reason to upgrade to a better Rear unless you replaced the fronts as well. There are many shocks that are available that are better and will give you more control of the ride. You could get the Koni Yellows and lower the perch (20mm lower) with your stock springs. It will be a minimal drop, handle much better and look better. You wont have any driveability issues.
