Coilover Shocks - GM jumping on board

[TwoBobsKJ]

This kind of made me laugh. I saw this Tweet today for the new Chevy Silverado truck and the new coilover front suspension it has - as though it's something new.

Guess our KJ's have been ahead of the game since 2002 :laughing1:

They've been using coilovers for 6 years now,not new at all.

But they're trying to make customers think its a completely new idea and so much smoother
Wonder how many will buy into it and how many don't really gives a rats behind :ROFLJest:

By the way whats a "tweet" ?

I think tweets are something these kids are using now. Some weird form of public blogging or something.

'89-'06 GM fullsizes use torsion bars in front,the 3/4 and 1 ton pickups still use torsion bars but the 1/2 ton pickups and SUV's have been on coilovers since '07.



Oh and there front coils make the OME 790's seem like those springs found in ballpoint pens.For those that have compressed OME 790's and got scared you'll be curled up in the fetal position crying for your momma while sucking your thumb and ******* yourself.

We could say the same with direct injection and turbo...it was used a lot in the past for fuel economy, then it was dropped and now manufacturer are telling us OMG new kick ass technology we have the best one...but they are mostly all the same...Turbo + direct fuel injection...
