I put edelbrock sport shocks on my 94 about 5 years ago and I still love them. They are a great compromise between ride and handling.

What do you want to do with the car?
I've never had a set of Bilsteins, but they seem to be regarded as the best shock for a track car, bang for the buck.
My car is a cruiser. I put KYBs on it, and I'm happy with them.

i want the car to have a real firm suspension. the set that is on the car now just wobbles around when i go in and out of corners a bit fast. i guess it does that because the suspension on it now doesn`t work any more.
here in norway there is allot of twists and turns on the road not so much straight forward so i think it might be best if the suspension is real hard and firm.
