A shock absorber on a race car only has two functions. On the rear they control the housing and on the front they control the rate of rise. On both ends they help keep the tire on the track with compression settings. The more power you make, the better shock you need. If you think $100 shocks will control the ends of the car just as good as a $1000 shock.......well that is just nowhere close to right. Many guys think, my car only runs "so and so" I don't need good shocks. Wrong again......LOL!!! Look under some of the slower stockers. They have GOOD shocks, there is a reason for that.

Now, what shocks you NEED, more or less depend on what you are willing to spend. One thing to keep in mind though. The trickest suspension in the world won't work right without good shocks
