I have KYB's on my Fiero, and they woke up the handling on it pretty good...of course the old shocks/struts were mush, so anything would have.

Thanks for the input...KYB is definately an option.

My silver 84 had them from the P.O too. They came off in short order. They still looked fairly new and were totally gone....produced a nasty shimmy in the front end. Went with Delco on that car....was a big improvement.

Less than $300.00 for all four is pretty good. I would do it.
