if you want inexpensive but good shocks, why not go air shocks?

I wouldn't buy them for two reasons: no brand name by which to judge their quality; look at the short springs, which indicate short travel and a potentially harsh ride. Stock shocks are bad enough, don't buy cheap shocks as replacements!
