Shocks......

Post by PATRICKH »

Getting ready to replace the shocks on the cc. Interested in everybody's opinions, suggestions, what are you running?

Looking at the Rancho RS5000, but like the Bilsteins too......

X2.
I tried Rancho RSX's (better than the RS5000's) & Bilsteins on my cc, and the Bilsteins were definitely better. :wink:

How long to you plan to keep it? If it is a long term relationship , Bilstein HD shocks are a good investment.

If you trade up regularly, or might need a fullsize next year, any decent aftermarket shock is better than stock.
