Default Performer Ias Shocks

Has anyone used the Edelbrock IAS performer shocks? Thet seem like a real good deal and I am thinking about buying a set. They say firm ride with better handling, but on rough terrain the shocks have a valve to soften the ride up some. I'm interestd in all your input, dont be shy!!

I have them on my vette.

Insert them upside down as the instructions say, compared to other shocks. Their inertia system is very smooth yet responsive. My vette handles like on rails, very happy.

I have them on both Vettes. I recently changed the stock springs on the 72 to the VB&P fiberglass monoleafs and the IAS shocks again work out well.

Alwayswave, on your 72 which rear spring do you have with your IAS? I have always wanted to try a set of the IAS shocks and wondered if they would be a good match with my composite spring.
