It was one of the best damn upgrades I ever did to my car; it flattened the front end right out. The ride only got harsh when I swapped from 15 to 18 inch tires. 1987 Fifth Avenue - 512/518/D60

EXACTLY opposite of what a quality shock should do. Spend the money on better shocks. Skip steak and wine for a month or two. Bologna and ice water, then the good shocks!
