Thanks for letting us know about your shocks.
Does it ride smoother now or firmer? I put Monroe Reflexes on the wife's Exploder and they sure made it handle better but they are a bit firmer than stock. They got rid of a lot of the "top heavy" feel.
A lot of times people dont realize how bad their shocks are until they are replaced.

Racerguy rides much firmer handles way better than oem's when they were new keeps tires planted on road much better has even helped that light rear end hop some i do like the firmer feel so can feel road better like i'm more in control
