Default Best Shocks and Struts for Bumpy Roads.

Hi, I live in Santo Domingo where bumpy roads are almost everywhere. What are the best Shocks and Struts for bumpy roads? Have anyone tried the Steeda Pro Non-Adj. Shocks & Struts?

I've been there, and you are right, roads are in very bad shape, stiffer shocks will make the ride unbearable, will not work properly on that kind of roads and your car will sound like a tool box being shaken, stock shocks are a better compromise and are cheaper if you have to replace them often.

Srock shocks are terrible. I didn't realize how bad until i got D-Specs. Get the D-Specs, adjust them to your taste (you can adjust them softer than stock shocks) and away you go. I wish I would have known how much better the car rode with D-Specs because I would have done those as my first mod. BTW, i l ive in Ohio, roads are very bad here as well.
