Edelbrock IAS Shocks
I need shocks... and want to try these out.
I drive my 92 (FE1 suspension) as my daily driver. I don't race and as such don't need stiff, I need something that won't beat me to death on the various freeways of L.A.!
Any opinions on the IAS? I have generally heard good things about them, but don't have much C4 based experience.
I remember a place that had good prices on them, but have lost the link.
Thoughts?

I have been looking at QA1 and the Edelbrocks, I like the QA1 becuase you can adjust them without taking them off. I guess it all depends on what you want to spend. The only thing I have heard bad about the IAS is that they tend to bottom out. Let us know what you get and how you like them, eshocks.com has free shipping.

If I had it to do again I don't think I'd spend the money for them. They cost a lot compared to the other options.
When I first put them on they were a major improvement over the bilsteins with 60k on them, but after a year or so I felt the ride quality had degraded back close to where it was before.
If I was replacing stock shocks today, I would either go with coilovers, or I would put in a normal replacement shock at 25-50% the cost of the IAS.
When I got them, the lowest price was at one of the major auto parts chains. I paid about $80/ea. I think they are about $125 now.
A search should be useful as they have been discussed here many times before.

Yep...Go out to the C4 Tech/Performance board, click on "search this forum" enter waht you are looking for and there it is.
I did one for your search and came up with 4 or 5 other shock threads 3 containing the Edelbrock IAS.

I would LOVE to go with coil overs... but I can't swing a grand now. Currently, I have KYBs, but don't really want another set... they are ok, but they are cheapo, and they harden as they age. and mine are nearly 6 years old...
I have debated Koni and QA1, but I have heard stories about QA1s leaking...
I love Koni... they make GREAT pieces...
decisions, decisions.
