I'm wondering if this comparison is fair to the armstrong shocks? Are you
comparing crapped out armstrongs to new bilsteins?
I bought a used Datsun 510 as my first car. The front shocks didn't last
long. If I hit and released the brakes a few times, I could get the car
hopping ... almost. By comparison, the new mullholland(?) shocks that I
replaced them with were spectacular! :)
