New Edelbrock shocks
Outstanding new rear shocks, Edelbrock IAS Performers. I tried KYB(too stiff), Gabriel air adjust(too soft,not good for cars), Bilstein(too wooshy,don't flame me!), the Edelbrocks work perfect for my lowered set up....Try them! Summit 74.95..

I did all 4 last year [89.99 screwed by ecklers] but it was like a transformation. The combination of a nice stiff feel on smooth roads without getting beat to death on the rough ones is something I didn't think was possible with a C-3. My WIFE noticed the difference
A buddy of mine has an F-350, I think a 10in lift or something, and a regular size cab with these things and IT rides nice. Had to feel a little sorry for him though. I think his where 3 or $400 each....

You guys are buying names and the name dont even make the shock. Do you think Edelbrock is making shocks? You spending 2-4 times more for shocks than you need to from speed shops. Go to your local auto parts stores, A company that supplies OEM and the aftermarket is Monroe, they make um and there are others too.

The Bilstien seemed to luxury, maybe a little slow to respond, like driving a 50's Cadillac, but that could be I'm lowered and the shock not loaded properly. I don't know...The Edelbrock seems to adapt better...

The c4s come with Bilsteins. I have replaced mine and they are excellent. I have a set of Edelbrocks sitting in the garage waiting for spring for the 72. I researched them and others before buying. I talked to parts men and also went online with end users. The consensus here is correct: you get what you pay for.
When it comes to my babies, I tend to lean toward quality. And I think that, for most of the guys here, like me, they tend to buy the best they can afford for their corvettes.

I looked at Summit, and they are now $85.99 (for my 1970 anyway). I did some looking around and found them at anythingauto.com for $78.95. They have a special going right now, if you order before 02/04, you get free shipping, and they will knock 10% off your order (if over $199)!

Just hope that you don't have a problem with any edelbrock products. Their customer service sucks. My brother paid $500 for a set of their stainless headers for his 98 trans am. When we had problems with them fitting to the y-pipe (which they were supposed to), they basically didn't want anything to do with it.
