Shocks: looking for Blistein quality at KYB price.

RRR your point is well taken, for street action standard HD shocks are going to be more than sufficient with factory or stock-ish bars.

however, after .920 those type of shocks are no longer able to properly dampen the higher spring rate of the larger performance bars. this results in not only a shitty ride but in some circumstances that inability to control the spring can be down right dangerous.

that's not hyperbole, or me talkin' out my *** or some arbitrary number i pulled out of thin air, either. i've built these cars with these combinations going on damn near 25 years, and that's straight fact. run big bars, need good shocks to control them.
