Are these good shocks or not. I just want to know if you guys seem to like them.
Thanks

I think they're too soft. I'm using them with the Suspension Techniques linear rate springs. Next time, the Bilsteins I have laying here are going on.

Mark, which Suspension Techniques springs are they? I cannot seem to find an S/T website and I want to know what the spring rates are and how much of a drop they are. I want a high performance spring to go with my Koni's. Can't stand Eibachs.

I got the ones off JC Whitney. They advertise a 1.5" drop and 10% to 15% increased rate over stock. I like them better than the H&R's I had on my LX but the Tokico shocks aren't a good match for them.

I didn't see any published spring rates for the Tbird springs. And they specifically say not SC. So I would guess their spring rates are off a bit for the SC. But it sounds like quite a few people are using them and are happy.
