    Default Shockers on a lowered car

    I currently have GT Monroe Gas shocks, They had been used while I had cut springs making me think they could be stuffed? Ive now got Pedders Touring Springs?
    I was looking at GT Monroe Sport Shocks, Ive heard they are good to improve lowered cars suspension..
    Every bump I hit is like ARGH and I'm sick of it.. The ride is a lot more smoother once I got the springs replaced..So would getting GT Monroe Sport Shocks be worth it? if not Why?
    Thanks

    I wouldn't be admitting you had cut srpings in your car on here man. If you have lowered springs that are reasonably lower then stock then yes the standard shocks will be shit with the lowered springs. So if the pedders touring are equal to super low or ultra low in the king spring range then yes i would suggest you buy shortend shocks

    Why not? I bought the car with cut springs sadly
    Yeah the springs are fairly low, They are like just below legal height I think, I asked the K-mart tyre and auto repair about getting some, he said that it wouldn't make much difference.. But still willing to get some..
    Thanks (:

    Oh well then that changes things lol. The way i read it i thought you had cut them, but all good . Well if there aroun the illegal limit it means they have to be a fair bit lower then stock so yes some good quality shortened shocks would be worth it
