Belltech street perf shocks

[BAD HABIT]

Will be buying a set from Gail at APH she has the best price around. These are for my lowered street truck, suppose to have a stiffer ride and better handling for the lower class citizens. Anybody here have any pros and cons?

I don't know anybody who has ever run them. Everybody that's lowered that I have known, swore by the Nitro Drop Shocks.

I keep hearing there not as good on our trucks.

sorry jay I have the nitro's on mine , I've had mine for years now and no complaints except they are pricey

I been doing some googling on them, trying to find reviews and it's about 50/50. Some guys had them on less them 8 months and they blew, some guys say their the best thing since sliced bread.

I did some searching on both and it seems there application fits mine the best, I talked to a few that have had both and 1 liked the spongy side of toxic for there ride, I need a more stiffer ride cause of my rear leafs I feel like I bounce to much now. And I heard my kyb are close to the toxics.

Toxic may be softer than the Nitro's....I wonder how different Belltech builds the Nitros than they build the Street Performance ones.


And you're right, seems as though Pro Comp builds the Toxics so they are spongy. Maybe they do that to soften up the stiff ride alot of static trucks usually have.

Id you're ride sofy on all 4 corners or just the rear?

Here's some vendor quotes from other sites...

I personally prefer the Street Performance but not for the reason above. I sell a great amount of Belltech shocks. Never had a Nitro Drop 2 come back under warranty. They do not ride as stiff at the Street Performance shocks though. I do have the Nitro Actives and Nitro Drops come back under warranty time to time. But these shocks use an older shock technology.

The valving technology in the SP shocks is much better. Larger valving and new technology.

Then this off of Belltech's site...
