Title: best riding rear shocks ?
Post by: RazBarlow on February 21, 2009, 07:28:48 AM: I just ordered Jeff's lift kit with strut spacers . I just wondered what is the smoothest riding rear shocks to put on ? I don't know if it will or not, but I don't want it to ride like a lumber wagon .
Thanks,
Raz

Procomp ES1000 series '89-04 Sidekick/Vitara 0-2" Lift
$70.00/set
here is the link

95 mustang rear shocks from AutoZone, rides OK. Cheap shocks, cheap ride.

*shrugs* my cheapies run 200% better than the stockers did. I'm sure the extra coin (which I didn't have after buying OME springs & struts at the time) on monroe or Napa would have been even better (If not longer lasting at least. I only have ~5000 miles on mine, but they're fine). I can tell you the one's Jeff points you to have the metal sleeve already in them, so you don't have to spend the time (and aggravation) mining out the ones from your old shocks to put into the ones I had (I think this is a mustang vs crown-vic thing ???).
