Because if I took a corner at higher speed than the speed limit and I happened to hit a "bump" the car would literally "skip" in the turn. I'm amazed I haven't wrecked it. I went to the Monroe Sensa-Track or whatever they're called and the car is 10X's better.
I had them on my Diplomat Police car too. A bit harsh but didn't hate them. Right now I have NOS Mopar Police (not even gas charged) shocks which have the larger piston, etc. When I replace them I'm going to spend the money on Bilsteins. I've heard nothing but good.


Facts are stubborn things.

I have had KYB's on the front of my Fury with bigger bars for years. The initial hit harsh thing I get for sure but they definitely brought my front end under much better control. Now, are there better shocks out there for C bodies? I'm sure, looks like the customized Bilsteins are. Are they all at least 2x price? Ya. Might be worth it these days with more choices and a larger bank account than I had 15yrs ago, but the KYB's were much better than the Monroe Mush-o-matics.
