Default Adjustable shocks

k well i dont really know to much about suspention and such so i was wondering what the great benefit of having adjustable shocks is besides being able to set them to ur comfort. my rear shocks blew out ( at 40 K!) and while i have to replace them i might as well get some good ones haha. so help me out with ome info and mayb some recomendations, keep in mind im in a high school budget haha. thanks guys.

+1 on Tokico d-specs, partsshould cost under $600. If you or someone you know is a gearhead you can do the labor, It should only take a few hours on your garage floor with the right tools.

If you are thinking about lowering the car later then just get the adjustables becuase they will be worth it in the end.
