When did you change your shocks?
How many miles did you get out of your stock Bilstein's?

Re: When did you change your shocks?
I replaced mine around 60K...

Re: When did you change your shocks?
Thanks Jeff,
I have 73,000 miles on my 92 and wanted to know if it is time to start looking into it.

Re: When did you change your shocks?
Mine were rebuilt at about 65000. They were leaking and had been for a while.

Re: When did you change your shocks?
Mine were a little bouncy at 27k miles when I bought the car. I had modified valving done when I rebuilt them, but I have driven other ZR-1's with original FX-3 shocks so something definitely happened to mine.

Re: When did you change your shocks?
Mine were rebuilt after 70k miles. Had experience with KYB for a short time and I can say that they are good shocks but nothing special about them.

Re: When did you change your shocks?
Mine have just over 30,000 miles and 20 years on them. Seem OK but as you all know it is a bit hard to tell. Marc seemed to think they were fine based on visual inspection.--Bob
