Hello all,
So I am going to be putting some H&R's (got them used but they look new) on my 13' SHO w. PP.
The rear shocks/struts are leaking so I plan to replace them and since I'm doing the job anyways figure I'll replace the fronts as well.
Research has shown me that the SHO w. PP uses the same parts as the Police Interceptor. (PP stands for Police Package it seems) so here's the dilemma...
Do I replace with OEM? Go Monroe (the only manufacture with a dedicated replacement) or do I ditch the PP set up and go with a KYB (which is labeled for non PP) set up?
I like the tautness of my current stock PP except when hitting a corner hard. As a daily though I do not find the ride harsh at all.
Heard that it will get a bit taunter with the H&R's which is fine but I am a bit concerned that the Monroe's will be too stiff (presuming they are noticeably stiffer than the OEM.) Not interested in feeling every little crack unless I'm pushing it on a track.
The KYB's I heard are a bit stiffer than stock w/o PP but are they as stiff as the OEM w. PP set up?
Price point the non OEM stuff is significantly cheaper ($300) but I'd rather not end up softer or rock hard and not be happy.
Suggestions?
PS. The reason I'm not going to a Megan/ BC Race setup is 1) I already have the H&R's, 2) They seems to require cutting of the wheel well to access controls and 3) My past experience with them on my Subaru was less than stellar for a daily driver. Great for track days though.
Thanks for the input gang.
