Default ACDELCO Shocks

My 93 convertible (not z51 or fx3) needs new shocks. I was wondering if anyone has tried the ACDELCO shocks. I was considering them because I only do street driving in my stock car and Philly has many too many potholes. I thought they might be a more compliant/comfortable ride. I know most forum members are into some form of performance but would appreciate any feedback, particularly from someome who has used them. Thanks

Im sure most of the old timers will advise against them. I think a better way to go if you dont want to spend what they get for the Bilsteins would be KYG shocks at half the price.My experiance is with other cars i havent replaced my 93s shocks yet but its on my long list. Ive already bought the KYG shocks. Dave

Fixed.

KYB is not a bad shock if you are after a 'softer' ride. I like mine.
