Found some edelbrock shocks online for the rear of my 96 for like $90 . They're a reputable company so I'm assuming the shocks would be gd for a quality replacement?

 

Not necessrily a great assumption. Edelbrock makes some good products and they make some that are dogs. I've never seen anyone use their shocks on a 4th Gen, so they are an unknown.

Go to stranoparts.com if you want quality suspension parts for a 4th Gen
