Default Anyone using Edelbrock shocks??

Just curious. I did a search & only saw one post with a reference. If you have installed these on you Z, what is your review on ride quality & handling? How do they compare to stock, etc? Thanks .

I tried them and I didn't like the ride or how they handled. I got the Bilstein Sports and love them. GO BILSTEIN!

OK, ok, I get it. I was just curious. I'm pretty happy with the stock shocks right now. I'm just thinking down the line. Thanks for the feedback.

I keep hearing about the 04 shocks, are they that much different than 03s?? Just different valving or is it a whole different shock??
