Suggested Shocks

Hahaha, I haven't found any posted at 50. But I've taken 35 curves at a bit over 70 and some curves on the highway(racing someone) posted at 45, at over 100(though admitedly they post some of those recommended speeds quite conservatively). But the big help is from the sway bars and the alignment, but with a 1 1/8" sway bar up front there ain't much suspension independance, so when one wheel hits a pot hole, you really feel it

lol, I find that aggrivating. I drive a lot on a state highway here that goes through the mountains, nothing bad, up and down and curves as it goes through the passes, and a lot of the curves are marked at 45 or 55, but everyone goes like 70-75 through them like nothing, and a lot of the semis go through them at 55-60. They werequite conservativewhen they marked them. Though there is a road around here that goes up to an area through a canyon, that everyone calls "the canyon" or "the canyon road" and theywere NOT kidding when they posted those signs. It's a lil narrow(though wider now after all the recent blasting/construction to widen it) 2 lane road with some nasty curves and switchbacks. Some of the curves are posted at 25 and quite a few cars can barely take them at 20, and the 35 curves are brutal. They even have a couple posted at 15 that are difficult even at that speed(especially when there's gravel on the road). Motorcylce riders love that road just because of the turns, but it has a few fatalities every year from people misjudging it and having head-ons or driving off the cliff into the river, or hitting the canyon wall

I have the GR-2s along with 620 springs. But I like a little softer ride yet does well in the curves.

We have a road between here and Dripping Springs that you can prove your theory and subjication.
"Does well in the curves" is rather subjective I think. My version of does well in the curves means that you don't skid, and your passenger has to peel their face off the window with a spatula after you take the curve
