EDELBROCK SHOCKS

are these shocks stiffer than the KYB's cuz i want to get some better shocks than my stock ones, but the bilstein's are $197 per strut and $90 something for each shock. are the edelbrocks better than the KYB or Koni's.

I don't believe Edelbrock makes the IAS shocks for thirdgens yet. Did they start making them?

Save you pennys and go for the Konis. They are the absolute best bar none...

edelbrock doesn't make them for 3rd gen f-bodies. KYB's are more for the wifes car. Bilsteins are great and Koni's are insanely priced.
