Welcome! Post some pics. If it rides hard, then you may have some suspension upgrades already. If you are looking for the original ride quality, there strut options on Rockauto.

SHO vs GL/LX suspension

Hey guys! I Was hoping to get some good insight as to what the differences are for the suspension between the SLO and the SHO. Specifically 1994 I bought a '94 recently that's been slightly mooded, stiff suspension, etc. I want to restore it to stock, but i wanna make sure what i buy is correct...

sweet!

if not looking to mod your vehicle, stick with OEM parts where available. avoid the temptation to go with Monroe anything ... they will change your SHO to an SEL ride lol. i see KYB has parts for your MY

need to replace all struts/shocks and mounts. check to make sure the subframe recall has been performed - rusted bolts ...

one of the biggest problem areas is the strut rods, watch out for them.

you can also opt to upgrade the subframe to a gen III type, which eliminates the strut rods and results in better handling.
