My point was simple. When you start using brand names like Bilstein and Fox you are talking about high dollar race oriented pieces. Are you going to drive your car like that on the street? That would be the question I would ask. Those are serious shocks made for equally serious abuse. On the street?
It's your money. For a street car, that's just something that would never be in my wheelhouse. Not even close. I am sure the high dollar shocks do what they were designed to. I have installed them all in the past myself.
I suppose if money's not the issue and you want them, go for it. "When" you can "get away" with driving in a way that those shocks will work on the street, I am sure they will do the job.
I am curious if those who have them and say they work that much better are simply embarrassed to say there really isn't that much difference. I have driven most all types of shocks. While I can tell a difference, it's not THAT much difference. At least not on the street.
Shocks are made pretty much to do one job. To hold the tire in contact with the road. If they already do a good job at that, how much "better" can it really get?
