1. Simplest way to increase steering effort? I want some boost just not as much.

2. What shocks to replace stock shocks? Want better handling but not rough ride. The car came with GSR front sway and tower brace, also ITR rear sway. 99 alloys with stock rubber. Cannot change rubber now.

3. Shock price? Average $$ to get them installed in Washington DC burbs.

 

1. remove power steering.
2. koni yellows...adjustable and excellent ride/handling.
3.check on groupbuycenter.com.

 

i can install the shocks for you in my garage if the money is right.. i have all the air tools, jacks, etc to get the job done in less than 3 hours and cheaper than going to a real shop that will charge by the hour of about $65 bux and go by the book..

 

Koni yellows I've had these for over 3 yrs their great... (i also have Eibach sportline springs)...
shock price is around $500-600 depending on where you get it... install depends on the shop.. i got prices anywhere from $100-200... I installed it myself... did another spring/shock (KYB AGX/Eibach pro kit) install yesterday w/ a member on these boards.. dang my back hahah

 

just got finishe dropping a friends 2001 lude w/ skunk2 coilovers using stock shocks for now cause he is planning on getting chamber kit and new shocks this summer.. drop is nice.. we will adjust the drop tomarrow at work cause we have a lift that can get the whole car off the ground in the tire center and it was 130am when we finished.. what do you all think? he wants it slamed so were gonna set it at like 3 inch all around and hell get a chamber kit FAST!! its look phat..

 

He said he still wants some power assist. The easiest way I know of increasing effort a little is to use a smaller diameter steering wheel. This worked great on my old car, but my old car didn't have airbags, either, so it was alot easier to change the steering wheel than it would be on a 95 Teg.

 

anyone here feel the difference with no power steering as far as HP.

 

there is a 4 WHP gain from this mod........I personally will never go back to power steering because you can feel the car so much more any way you slice it.....

 

Did you just remove the belt or did you remove the whole system or what?

 

i temporarily removed the belt but when i have time this summer, i will remove the whole system (which will consequently drop ~20 pounds off of my car )
