quad shocks are not the problem...=leave them and change control arms and shocks you plan to get should work fine

i've also heard upr ones work well too and theres is only 200.
i got those cheap azz mac ones from 50resto, they sell em for 150 i got em from a friend for free so i figure i'd try them.
but yes those kyb's should be alright, or get lakewood drags for the rear which are better for drag...obviously haha
