Default Drag Specialities Shocks
I need some decent shocks for my Lowrider, the original ones were never very good and now they are pretty bouncy.

Ebay seems to be infested with Drag Specialties shocks and at a reasonable price....y'all ever tried them, heard any feedback...got a better idea?

I know that Hagon are very good but I can't afford them and I refuse point blank ever to deal with the tossers at Progressive ever again.

So, any suggestions or feedback/reviews are welcome

I heard that the sway away shocks are great for the price. I have the 13 inch air shocks on my Dyna. They are ok but not great. For 50 bucks they work ok. I'd be inclined to get a set of the sway away
