what shocks should i go for?

Go ahead and get them Squeaky.  Your sig says wally  (426 )      I know it bites. As little as I use my car and really dont travel far with it, monroe gasmatics for 16 a piece was a good choice for me

  I know Ive become so cheap..  I found a set of Eddies for $300 @ the Paddock. Man, its $500 for a fender, 300 for shocks, dash is gonna be pricey. Im gonna wind up doubling what i have in the car one of these days

The IAS shocks are $86.99 each at Jeg's, front or rear

Mine are about 6 years old and they were the $10 deals... I want to get some better ones, any recomendations?? 

 

How do you drive and what are you expecting them to do?

[wally426ci]

I just figure i owe the car a good set of shocks, I  put the hammer down sometimes and I mostly LOVE taking turns at speed.....

I'm running the KYB's on mine.  Many people don't like them but at 25-30 bucks a piece they do the job for me.

They can get harsh on rough city streets but evrywhere else they seem to work nice, corners don't seem to bother them.

i spent the dollars cause i want some adjustment, so i bought the qa1,s they are sweet i dont need more than 5 clicks,on the front and maybe 2 clicks on the back,they have a total of 12 clicks of adjustment, i used to have kyb,s as they are a good shock for the money, depends on your budget!and how much adjustment you want

I concur, the SRT/10 runs QA1s and Madeline will as well. Great shock with easy adjustment, and, well, the simple fact that they adjust at all! I run 10 up front on the Night Runner and 6 out back. A good option when you need that kind of flexibility in selection of setting.

no one mentions koni ..? dont they cost even more? like 180$ a shock, the qa1,s work the same, and a little easy on the pocket book, hey dutch i did find out from someone that services them said anything over 6 is really hard on them , but they can be rebuilt so run em hard , you must like to stick it the corners like me

[dutch]

sorry, I thought this was about good shocks...not cheap ones 
I`ve used koni`s on several different cars and always liked them. They make cars corner lovely    I must say I was pretty impressed by Bilstein shocks too, but I don`t know if they are available for e- bodies.

I cant see blowing a ton of money on shocks. I do want good shocks, but affordable. I have Poly suspension bushings, so maybe thats where my harder bumps come from.....

Hey Jackie, is that what you're running on yours? I live IN the city, but i try to avoid the worst streets, so i need to keep that in mind.....

Wally, Just took the original shocks off the front.    I'm happy with the KYB's. For the money they are a decent shock. I had the front-end rebuilt with poly too. It rides and handles a lot better then it did.   I live in PA . And you know how the roads are here.

It is funny how the pavement changes as soon as you cross the Line from good ole Maryland....
