  • Edelbrock shocks or ?

    I want to buy new shocks for my car but I am having a hard time deciding which ones would suit me best, so I thought I would ask around.

    They are for my 2001 Camaro V6, I have it lowered with the Eibach Pro Kit, currently I have the stock shocks. I want something better, so I am thinking of the Edelbrock shocks...

    Are the Edelbrock good or should I look at Bilstein?

    Any input is appreciated, thanks!

        Alot of people go with Bilstein, do some research and go from there.

          Enzia35, can you point me to which Bilsteins exactly I would need for the rear and for the front since I have the Eibach Pro Kit installed?

                I've had Bilsteins and Edelbrocks on my car. Currently I have QA-1 double adjustables.

                The Bilsteins worked pretty well for fixed-valve shocks. I used them with an Eibach spring kit which lowered the about an inch and a quarter.

                I had Edelbrocks on for a short period but took them off when I found the front Edelbrocks didn't work on a car which was lowered because they lack adequate travel. I should add that two months ago Edelbrock sold its suspension business. QA1 bought all of it except the shock absorber line. I don't know who or what bought the shock absorber part of the business.

                  Bilsteins. They are $15 more than the KYB's and a much better part.

                    I dont know if they are that much better, I chose AGX's because of the adjustable side of it. Meaning that I just got stranos and set all my shocks on 8

                        Around 2 minutes is when the cool stuff starts happening. LG knows his sh*t about suspension.

                          I don't see why this video keeps popping up. We are talking about a budget V6, not a no holds barred vette. Of course if you spend a crap ton on your coil overs you're going to get the best performance...

                            Bilstein's products are quality. They don't offer a "budget" piece. However, their lowest price shock is marginally more expensive than the AGX's and Edelbrock's. I loved the Bilstein's on my TBSS.

                              Look up Sam Stranos's site. He should have Bilstin's listed there.
