I've had the HD shocks (rebuilt by Apple) on the 6 for a little over a year
and they seem to have lost a bit of their stiffness. With the bounce test
(pushing up and down on the rear end) I get about one more rebound than I'd
really like....about 3 verses the 2 I'd prefer. But then maybe I'm just
being picky. They were certainly an improvement over the sloppier ones that
were on there. I have stock springs, a 7/8 inch front sway bar and KYB gas
shocks on the front. Works pretty good for my driving habits.
