| So, I'm thinking that I need new shocks for the Caprice. I have lowered it about 2 inches, and it really handles funky on bumpy roads. Do I have to get shocks that are shorter because of the drop? Or do I just need a really good set of shocks? Thanks for any help and shock advise.

| I've run the stock length 9C1 Gabriel Ultra shocks from autozone on many lowered cars, Hotchkis, Vogtland, Moog, and cut stockers. They have worked great with all those. They are comparable to the Bilsteins, but have a bit less rebound control. But for less than 30 bucks a piece and a lifetime warranty, I'll live with it and change em every couple years. | |

Rear all except wagon Pretty sure that's the shock I have in the back of the wagon now, and have used previously with success. It's the standard 9C1 Gabriel Ultra. | |

| They say except wagon because of the air ride. | |
