Default Delco Reactek gas charged shocks

shocks


Any of you guys using these? I wondered what your opinion is on these or how they compare to other brands. I have fiberglass front and rear springs and I'm looking for what will give the best ride.

I'm happy with mine, but I have never tried anything else to compare them to.

I'm using them on all my cars,but I don't use 'glass springs. You need to get shocks valved for the 'glass springs.

I have them on mine and am pleased with their performance. They are a solid replacement for the originals with an upgrade in technology. They are good for a driver. If you want them for racing there are many better options available for you depending on the type of racing you are going to do.
