Review on ACDelco Specialty Rear Shock Absorber with Spring Assistance, Model 519-5 by Alex Cassanova

Good shock absorbers. I installed them on my '84 Buick Regal (Limited). When unstretched, the new shocks sit about an inch lower than my old set. Note that my old shocks were 10 year old air shocks that didn't hold air (meaning they were always fully compressed). So installing new ones has significantly increased my rear ground clearance. I can't speak to the exact meaning of changing my ride height as I installed new rear coil springs at the same time. However, the wheel changed well from 3 inches from my tires (scraping every gross bump) to 9 inches from the tire, absorbing the intensity of impacts extremely. I can only give 4 stars because the extra bolts and tabs didn't fit my car so I reused the old bolts and tabs. If nothing is currently installed on your vehicle (in terms of impact resistance), please note that you may have to look elsewhere for the screws. All in all they did their job and I recommend them!
