When I had just purchase my X (stock height) it had around 26,000 mile on it.
So the first upgrade I thought would be a shocks to give me a more comfortable ride or a aggressive ride when I needed it, and these shocks offered both.
Every Magazine I looked at and every parts web sites I visited had these new wonderful $69.95 AIS shocks which can handle anything you throw at them (the money Edelbrock spent on advertisement must have be astronomical).
So I ordered all four, received the back two (front two were back ordered) and decided to wait on the front two before putting them all on (they came a month later).
So the big day comes, I slap all four shocks on my ride and am ready for this wonderful ride I am suppose to get -- big surprise, they were more worst than the OEM's I had just removed. When a front tire hit a hole in the road it would actually bounce up and down like a basketball causing me to loose traction especially in the curves so I was forced to drive at a max 30mph in curves. On the highway when I hit a dip in the road my front end would bounce up and down like a ship on the great lakes. Those shocks were useless. I contacted customer service but received no satisfaction after a lengthily run around playing telephone tag, I even asked them if it was due to me having the weight of a slightly larger engine, a V8 and had they taken this into consideration when they manufactured them? Finnally they replied and said the v8 has no impact on them but they would exchange them if I sent them back. This was not an option since the old ones were trashed when I removed them.
Now some people say they have no problems with them at all, others like myself just plain hated them.
Its a lot of money to plop down on a set of shocks not knowing whether they will function correctly or not.
Please note I am not bashing people who like these shock, I'm just trying warn the ones who are considering purchasing the Edelbrock shocks that there is bad feedback on this product so buyer beware.
Edelboke IAS (I am sorry) shocks.
Stick with koni or bilistein.
