Shocks for live axle?
I decided to go with the live axle with Hotchkis leaf springs (lower 1 inch) and maybe I am over thinking this, But what Shocks???
I have a AlterKtion front with QA1's
will be doing a lot of street driving, not a lot of track.

I would go with the bilstein shocks tuned by hotchkis.

Billstein AK series if you want to do it on the cheap. Koni if you have the money.

Koni shocks are pretty nice shocks, so are the Bilsteins. Only experience I have had with the koni shock was it was a lil stiff for my car. I prolly picked the wrong shock. If you can get either shock thats tuned for the car and suspension from hotchkis I would go that route. They are both great shocks. JR

Thanks for the advice guys, as usual I didn't listen...just kidding, I went with the QA1 adjustable, my major decision was...it matched the front, should be fine with the adjustable..
