adjustable shocks?

There shouldn't be anything wrong with putting adjustable shocks on ANY car if you can find them. Before you start looking make sure you know why you want them. Is it for road course type handling...street drags...or just to lower it for looks?

Once you decide that for sure that will narrow the search and maybe prevent you from wasting money if you only want looks. After that (sorry I can't be more help) start searching the web and talking to your local shops. I have an '88 and it's getting hard to find good after-market stuff for our older cars. I put TEIN Flex on my car but I don't know if TEIN makes anything for '85's. Plus I go to the track once in a while so I reluctantly spent over $2,000.00 for coilovers with the optional inboard electric damper adjustment. (about $1,800 without the luxury of the inboard damper deal)

If you just want to lower for looks, maybe $300.00 for your car???

Just think about what your doing and you will be fine.
