But I have figured out a couple of things......
On a C5, C6 and C7 Corvette, the shock mounts are so strong you can remove the leaf springs and shocks and replace them with a full coilover suspension and they won't tear out.......Check.
I understand that not all cars have shock towers and mounts as strong as the Vettes.......Check.
Most people have no clue how a shock absorber and its speed sensitive valving actually work.......Check.
I won't even go into swaybars because that could lead some forum members into uncontrollable eye twitching......Check.

This one time at band camp my friend put race shocks on his kia and then the AC broke. Don't put HD shocks on your corvette!
