I've got a 2013 Camaro ss with 70,100 on it. If i changed out shocks can I expect to see an over all improvement in handling and ride. Thanks.

Well I did when I changed mine!! More tighter and responsive and not so harsh as it was. They do wear out and not act like they used to when new. I went with the OEM ones it came with.

Thanks

I upgraded my shocks & struts to Koni Yellows I got from a vendor on here during a Black Friday sale. It was only a few bucks more than the Oranges so it was a great deal.

Yes, got them thru my dealer. I always get my parts for cost...

If you really want to see an improvement, put in some 1LE replacement shocks with 1LE bars and radius arm inserts. Lots of bang for the buck.

FYI, 1LE and SS springs are the same.

Check out QA1 shocks. They’re EASILY adjustable from track to soft road ride.
