WHAT SHOCKS TO BUY: KYB VS Monroe VS Bilstein's

shocks mainly just dampen the bumps in the road. the up and down bouncing.

i've always had the biggest improvements putting a good set of tires on...

unless your previous shocks were damaged, upgrading shocks is generally just a slight improvement. in cornering performance, it has a lot more to do with spring rate and sway bars and type of steering than brand of shock.

just my opinion
