Well I'm replacing the Fuel pump on my car this weekend and figured while im workin on the car I'd replace both my shocks, since one of them is shot. What do you guys recommend? Havent' done control arms yet and plan to later this summer, but the car a 50% of the time driver.

I'm a little confused about the quad shock thing. Does that mean there's 4 shocks in the back? So what all would I need to do this. I'm thinking some non-adjustables but I am lookin for some wise insight.

Thanks a bunch

What is the price range and what type of driving (dragrace, autocross, etc...) are you going to do?

well i'd like to stay below $250-$300 and i don't really drag race or autocross, but if anything I'd say it's more of a straight-line car, but I'd like for it to handle relatively well

I like the Tokico HP's and they seem to be popular for people just looking for an all-around upgrade over stock. Granted I previously had Monroe Sensa-Tracs, which have absolutely zero performance value, so I knew I couldn't go wrong with the HP's. This is on my '92 which still has stock suspension (Steeda Sport Springs and rear u/lca's coming soon).

thanks, I was actuallly gonna ask about the tokico hps, they seem to be pretty inexpensive and are popular for just a basic upgrade/replacement. I figure i can go with these for a while, then when I do the other stuff like u/lca then I can reevaluate then

Never had them, but I've heard some good things about Edelbrock shocks. Valving that changes the ride based on the way you're driving.
