Default Pro Comp ES9000

Has anyone tried the Pro Comp ES9000 Shocks?

I need shocks for a 2.5 bb and I want a good cheap shock.

I'm running the ES9000 with my 4" Stage 1. I've had them for about 9 months and I haven't had any issues. They are a pretty good shock.

However,
If you bash them on rocks, they do dent.

I have em. the ride is solid, but not to stiff. personally I am getting ready to ditch mine after a few months. The bushings they come with are extremely soft rubber, and I can turn the shock quite a bit by hand while the bushing and bolt stay in one place. Other then the bushing failure, I have had no problems with them. my next choice for shocks will bilsteins

Or if santa visits with a set off Rancho and the air control. That would be totally awesome.

save yourself the hassle and go with the mx6 shocks the es series is junk I went through 6 shocks and countless rubber bushings on my Z71. Once I upgraded to MX6 no more problems

When I called Procomp and asked them about the shitty quality of there shocks they basicly said "yeah they are generic shocks we dont back them" then they sent me a big bag of rubber bushings and told me that should get me through a year or two. It is a hassle changeing them every 6 months when the bushing rip in half then your shocks clunk on the mounting bar

Procomps will ride rough. No sugar coating I ran them and wont run them again. If you want a cheap shock contact david at northridge tell him you want the full traction hydro FS5100. They are about 155 shipped when I bought them and they ride great for the price. Check out this page.
