buying new shocks need suggestions asap

ok to make this short i have a 1989 camaro rs. Rear shocks are about junk. im probably just getting some from autozone or advance. Anyone ever use the monroe or gabriel shocks? they have them for like 20 bucks a piece up to like 60bucks a piece. anyone ever actually use any of them? i do have the thick sway bars also-would that make a diff? i use this car for town driving also and hate bumpy roads! what do you guys recommend?? im getting them tomm prob. . . . .

I used Monroes for a few years. They seem to be good for daily driving.

No.

Sorry, I don't recall what they were. You might consider a search, if you haven't already.

The sensa trac's arent a bad stock replacement choice, especially if your on a limited budget. If you have a little more coin to spend and want to upgrade then visit this site for struts and shocks;
