Keep blowing out rear shocks

I went through the original rears...then some comp engineering drag 3-way adj....then some more stock ones...

the roads are rough here in Michigan...but can they be that rough?

Sounds like you need some springs... your shocks may be having to do too much work.

i have comp engineering struts up front to...

they told me the set up would last...I guess it doesnt..

could it be the how flexable the srings in the rear are or what they are made of? the rear is up in the air quite a bit...when i slam on the gas tho...the rear drops down (for grip they said) i think its the fronts allowing it to do so.

I dont know what do you guys think...

eibach drag springs...comp engineering front n back...

rears had to be replaced becasue they blew out...now my new stock ones i put in a month ago are out again...

Help
!

If you have Eibach springs, you probably need shocks that will work with competition springs. Konis should do it. They have a lifetime warranty.
