Default Shocks

Are the Integy piggyback shocks any good? I know in general Integy sucks but I have seen allot of people that bash integy running their shocks. I really like the way they look but if they are crap then I don't want to waste my money on them.

I have those shocks and I like them but you need to improve them out of the box or they will come apart on you. Replace the rod ends with aluminum rod ends or do what i did and JB weld the Plastic rod ends so they won't get ripped out. With high weight shock oils that integy recommends (90-150wt) they put a lot more stress on the rod ends and i had my shocks come apart numerous times. I was lucky to be able to find all the pieces each time. I haven't had a problem since I JB Welded the rod ends on though.

Thanks for the help guys. I will use the GTR shocks. If I make my old 2.5 a shelf queen then I will use Integy on that for the look only.
