RE: Milano/75 Shock Absorbers



John
I have yellow Konis on my 89 Milano Verde, and I'm very happy with them.
What a difference!  Still the same smoth comfy ride, but much better
handling, much better than stock.  (I have sway bars and sport torsion bars
as well, but the Konis came as a single change and the difference  was very
enjoyable) However, and contrary to what was said in response to your post,
I have heard by many Milano/75 and GTV6 owners that the Bilsteins are THE
way to go.  No personal experience with them, though.

Yet another question to the collective wisdom of the digesti.... My
1989 Milano/75 Gold/America is still running with original shock
absorbers.  As I have noticed a deterioration in handling - a little
looser, slower to settle, softer on hard turns, I know that I must
replace the original equipment.  The question I am posing is relatively
straight forward....  which brand is recommended by other owners?

IAP advertises three brands.... any preferences?

KYB at          $80/$90 front/rear
Koni at         $120/$120
Bilstein at     $98/$98

Finally, I enjoy "spirited" driving and believe that the car *must*
stick to the road at all times!  Thanks for your  advice.
