What shocks do you prefer?

[Krooser]

I have to buy shocks for my metric car to replace the junk that was on it when I bought it.

I'm leaning towards Bilstein or QA-1's... the Bilsteins came highly recommended by a racer who has won a hell of a lot more races than I ever have and the QA-1's can be rebuilt by a local shop. I can buy AFCO's nearly everywhere and they are a little cheaper... I need a stock mount shock.

Your opinions?

Granted we've only had one practice but noticed a difference from last years AFCO's. I really don't think you can go wrong in your choices of the Bilstiens or QA's.

I would run the QA1's because of the convenience of being able to keep them serviced by the local shop. Makes a big difference keeping the oil fresh in them. Been running them for 10 yrs with no issues.

Bilsteins are the best..next would be Integra and QA1 ..AFCO and Pro are junk compared to the previous mentioned shocks!

I've ran QA1 shocks since 2008 and never had one to fail. I think they're great shocks ! JMO

I run Bilstein SZ series shocks on my street stock. Never had an issue with them, they perform VERY well, and a lot of shock rebuilders in the area are capable of the regular maintenance on them.

BSB has some nice stock mount shocks as well.

Thanks to all...

I would agree with that. Bilstein SZ Digressive valve shocks is what I ran on our car.

I guess I'm going to buy the Bilsteins... so what numbers will work the best on my 3300 lb. beater? I'm thinking I'll buy four plus one "tie down" for the LR... gotta be stock mounts BTW.
