Choosing shocks

[tech3d]

Hi! I'd like to hear your opinion about some shocks we're considering..

We think that for our car the best shocks are those normally used for bikes because they are small and light, but i'm not sure about the brand. At first sight, they all look the same..
Can you help me?

Thanks.

what kind of bikes? my first guess is fox or risse, but hopefully i'm wrong and you're thinking more like ohlins or penske.

Actually, you're not wrong.... http://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif http://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_redface.gif Mountain bikes.

Last year we used fox. The matter is that we have contacted with an enterprise which imports fox and manitou, and I do not know they are good enough or if we should look for comething else.

Many thanks.

There is quite a bit of discussion about bike shocks here already.
