Hi all,

I am in the process of purchasing shocks for my car. I know that when I
purchased the car, it came with 4 Bilsteins. I do not know if they were HDs
or Sports. The front right is blown. I was wondering if it would be better
to purchase four new shocks, or just replace the two fronts with shocks that
might not match the rear. Either way, Bilsteins or Konis?

There also seems to be a screech upon start up of my car. I don't think that
it's the serpentine belt, as the A/C and heater still work without audible
transmission, and the screech
isn't immediate when I start up. It screeches only when the car is cold, has
been idle for a few hours, and
about 1-2 seconds after I start the car. Any ideas?

Finally, a brief outlinining of what I need to do to
replace the coolant in the car? Which brand?

Thanks,
Paul
