I rode in a car with them at an autox once, they are not stiff like Bilstein so I wouldnt recommend them for autocross/racing, they are good for regular driving and allow you to get a little spirited if you want, just not to the extreme of Bilstein or a custom shock.

Love them. Bilstein might be faster on the track but Edelbrock is faster on real world roads.
When I bought the car, it scared the sh%t out of me in the mountains because if I hit a bump in a corner at speed it would jump sideways a couple feet. When you're a couple feet from a cliff that ain't fun. Much less of this with the IAS, so I can go faster.
Had 60k on the original Bilsteins, so not a purely apples-apples comparison, but my experience jives with what I read about them when I was shopping.

Put them on my 89 convertible and really like them, even if they are a bit pricey.

$70 each is pricey? how much are the blitsens? i thought they where over 100 a piece?

Re: Edelbrock Shocks? (JCAIRE2)
i spent all last night looking for these shocks all over the net. i didn't belive it a first so i didn't order them. i called up the this morning and asked if it was for real. $69.95 + shipping.
they don't have the fronts on the site. I talk to one of the sales guys named Chris. he looked up the rears and said he could get them for the same price.
now if you guys want to wait a week till i get them in, i'll post an update.
the site looks like a truck accessory shop so i figure there is no corvette tax.

Take them out for a good thrashing after install and give us a ride report as well.
In theory, these should help drag launches and reduce wheel hop.

Re: Edelbrock Shocks? (yellowc4LH)
The shocks are great! I found mine on the net last year for around $100 a peice. I'm sure the prices have gone down some by now but I wouldn't hesitate to suggest them to anyone thats looking for new shocks.

Re: Edelbrock Shocks? (yellowc4LH)
Thanks for all the replies. It sounds like the kind of shock i have been looking for. I will wait to hear how EddieL98 likes them. I am currently using the Bilstein Sport Shocks and i do not like the ride, it doesnt seem to absorb the bumps in the crappy roads here. So i am hoping that the Edelbrock IAS shocks will eliminate this.
