Ram cobra front shocks

Go to a reputable shock supplier, select a brand and shock thats in your price range or what you are using the car for, I have Bilstein custom race shocks, but I think Koni, Spax, or QA1 shocks are all good, if you are mainly road use and dont want to spend a lot QA1 are good.
It would pay to get them to measure your closed and extended lengths, and if you want to get technical do the motion ratio and valve shocks to suit your spring rate!

Something else with the Ram is the bottom arm shock mount can be offset to the top shock mounting lugs, in my case I have used spherical bearings, they do wear out over time, but arent expensive and easily replaced!

Having said that a good shock supplier should supply a lower cost koni and valve to suit, this normally isnt any more expensive than the shock price!
