I'm in the market for some new shocks. I'm looking @ KYB Gas shocks. I only know 2 kinds of shocks, KYB's & Tokico's. Are there any other good brands out there?

The shocks, or shock dampeners, control the movement of the car and the springs -- they smooth the ride and keep the tires on the ground. Springs are what your car actually rides on -- sort of floats on top of the springs. The shocks keep the springs from responding too violently to the road, which is why you need to match the responsiveness of the shocks to the strength of the springs.
