What he said.

How do you measure performance to determine what is best in regard to a shock?

It's all about ride quality which is very much a preference thang. How your ride is equipped plays heavily into how the shock will feel.

I basically described my setup to the guy at Indy & told him that I was mostly interested in a crossover that handled well on road & wouldn't fail with light 4 wheeling. He recommended the Rancho if you'll be using the adjustment feature & OME if you won't.

Since I drive a Proton & the OME are yellow with black boots had NOTHING to do with my decision.
