What shocks to use?
« on: February 20, 2012 - 11:28:05 AM »
I have 1 in + espo springs in the back, do i need a longer shock or is stock height etc. OK.  I am also curious what shocks to go with, I  don't want to spend a ton of money, so i don't expect viper handling or anything just a descent all around inexpensive shock.

I'd go with Edelbrock IAS shocks. Good shock at a decent price. About $80 each. I think you will be ok with a stock length shock.  :2cents:

I have espo plus 1 1/2"  and run Bilstein's regular length with no issues.
