Shocking Advice!
The time for new shocks for my burb has come. However, I'd like a more car-like than truck like ride from my all-coil spring C20 burb. What kind of shocks can you guys recomend?

Re: Shocking Advice!
For the car like ride you really need to start with new coil springs. Shocks stop the bouncing after you hit a bump, the spring provides the give between the frame and the wheel/axle, etc.
