i just did the swap on my 96 z71.
80000 miles and the bilsteins were a bit worn out.
very easy to replace shocks really.
the ride is a little stiffer then the bilsteins when they were new but handling is alot better. i really like them. we will see how well they hold up compared to the bilsteins. that may be another 8 years from now though so stick around for my review in 2012

I wish my rancho RSX's didn't ride so damn hard :(

i drove a bit more highway and rough road, these shocks handle fantastic. i have very little body roll now. no more leaning in the curves so much.

well ive had my edelbrocks on for a while now and all i can say is they are awesome.
they are a lot stiffer then the stock bilsteins so if all you want is ride quality i would suggest not to get them. they are very firm.
but they have improved handling a very noticable amount.
and when im going into a curve like an exit ramp the lean is so much better.
much more responsive shock. and the ride is not terrible just a little firm.
i would recommend them if your looking for better control and handling at the cost of a mushy ride quality.
