Apolan-
"And besides isnt the springs' job to absorb the energy from the road irregularities?" AFAIK the springs' main job is to push your wheels back down away from the car, and the shocks are there to absorb the impact and slow the wheels down when they are pushed up into the car.
To some extent both do both jobs though, yes. All the more reason they need to be designed and installed as matched components.

NoHachi-
So what do you consider "A-quality" shocks? And what do you consider makes that difference, in terms of construction features in them?

Original owner, 1985 Toyota Corolla GT-S in the US of A. Will trade for a Cadillac-Gage V150 or a Ford GT44.
