Very cheap shock with a stiff spring.
They are good for holding the car up, and for street use.
Not a good shock for off road. |

| use the shox till you can either afford to replace them, or you have to replace them. my car came with the bilsteins. good choice for being a desert car. |

I'm running them because I had them. Put them on the new project and the first time I went over a berm and slammed the front down blew both front shocks.
Nice car. Try some color back polish before a paint job, you might be surprised. |

| never heard of color back polish. and the paint is scratched all over and is flaking off. I'm going to keep the shocks wasnt going to change them. |

LOL yeah if it is flaking off it needs paint, probably wasn't primered.
From the pictures it looked mostly faded. Color back works great on oxidized faded paint, basically a fine rubbing compound. |
