Default Re: Shocks: Necessity or luxury?

I followed a 4 dr sedan many years ago, old guy and his wife, in town. His springs and shackles must have been well lubed as this car bounced up and down at least 9 inches as far as I followed him, and in a corner it leaned waaay over. You couldn't have paid me to ride in it. Yes, you should have shocks. JMO
On another note, it's interesting how many cars are for sale that do NOT have shocks. When I purchased mine I'd looked at about 2 dozen and only 3-4 had them.
The one I bought did and they were a deciding factor.
