Daily driver? Go Monro-Matics
Sure, if you don't mind changing them every 500 miles or so. Within a couple years you'll have spent more than a set of good shocks anyway.
If you're actually driving daily, your car should be set up as a mild autocross car IMO. Better brakes, better suspension than stock. You'll need it if you want to keep your sheetmetal straight. With the way people drive now, and the performance of even your basic econo-boxes (especially braking), you need better than stock handling performance just to stay out of trouble. Good shocks are a bigger part of that equation than a lot of people think.
That's just my opinion, but its based on 50k+ combined miles in my Challenger and Duster, daily driving in California.
Bilsteins are great Fox's are awesome.
Exactly so. The Bilsteins are great shocks. Fox's are better, especially for big torsion bars.
