Best Shocks?

[astrokat]

Anyone have an opinion for what the best shocks are for a 99 2WD Astro? The van is used mostly for family stuff - trips, camping, kids, shopping, etc.

Thanks in advance.

Happy New Years!

Are they worth it? I know you get what you pay for, but they are on the expensive side. How does the ride and handling compare to the OEM shocks?

I agree that Bilsteins' are very good, you do seem to get what you pay for....
However, for my Astro, I bought Monroe Sensitracks.
They're affordable. For a smooth ride, they're better than new originals (comparing to my friends ' 03 van)
Handleing is adequate for my needs, which includes a 3500 lb trailer.
