    Default Best Shocks for king springs, what shocks are best

    just looking for some imfo on shocks
    i know lowering your car also makes ya car not ride as smooth as factory..

    looking to get king springs, what im stuck on is the shocks as i been told that is what makes the car ride smoother and not just the springs..

    what are the top shock brands and what ones would make my car ride fairly smoothly.

    i have been told by a shop that the gt monroe think they were would make it ride nicely, is this true?

    please let me know, preferably people who have expirienced bad shocks and rough rides from buying not so good brands

    car is a VZ executive commodore,

    cheers

    +1 for monroes. The KYB's have a smaller body and it seems are less effective at dampening then the Monroes which have a larger body. Personal experience.

    I have the Monroe GT Sport and they give a nice smooth ride.

    They were made to match the King springs. If your car is just a daily driver the Monroes are a well priced option imo.
