is there any way to judge how stiff they will be compaired to originals or should i just kinda avoid coil overs?

You can find gas shocks without coil overs, they will ride much better.

Edelbrock IAS are the best of the cheaper shocks. The Monroe's are good too. The Eddy's are highly regarded on Nasty as very close to Bilstien. Bilstein's are the best nonadjustable tube shock out there.
I just looked at your link, no way thats the price for the pair. I haven't seen those before to tell you the truth. IMHO I don't think $75 a pair is gonna get much. My Pro Shocks were around $300 for the set, they are single adjustable and they rock. |
You can get a pair of KYB ga shocks for between $50-$100 a pair at Summit. Even the $50 pair will be much better than OEM shocks. They wont be road race shocks, but you'll be pleased with the ride and handling for the road.

I have those coil shocks on my car,and they are a very stiff ride.They dont react fast enough to bumps and things so you feel every bump,pothole,etc.,they were on the car when i got it and were still fairly new so i foolishly put them back on when i replaced my leaf springs,replacing those shocks is my next project.

thanks guys. il make sure not to get the coil overs! il take a look at the KYB's

I just put these on my car.
Monroe Sensa-Trac 5831 - Shock Absorber | O'Reilly Auto Parts Rides pretty nice and i don't have a broken shock rattling around back there anymore. for around 60 bucks you can't beat it. |
