    Rear shocks q'

    Car was actin funning so I brought her in, the drivers side rear shock is wasted, so I need replacements. I have a 96 Trans Am LT1 LE2 heads/cam torque arm 4.10's yadda yadda... im gunna be selling the car this or next month... anyone recommend a good rear? i dont want to dump alot of money into it obviously since im going to be selling but is there anything slightly above stock thats worth it? everyone says blistine but they are $100 EACH and I dont need/want top notch at this point... if i were keeping it sure but...

    found some company called Tokiko on thunder racing for $50 each, how are they?

    Not the best, but they will work if you are selling it.


    Car lowered? If so...they will really be kinda pushing it.

    Anything is better than the stock DeCarbon piles.

    They just don't handle the more aggressive spring rates as well as say a Koni.
