Don't go too far with your statement there Mr. Sick. Since only about .1% of us can afford and/or are willing to shell out the bucks for custom-valved shocks I won't even give them consideration. I have AGX shocks and yes, adjusting them either harder or softer does play a large role in how the car rides, but you also must remember if you go too soft the shock will no longer be able to control the spring and you will end up bouncing your way down the highway...go too hard and the shock can not react quickly enough to absorb the energy from hitting a large crack/pothole on the road. This is one of the great things about progessive springs (Pro-Kit, Progress, and a few others), the harder you push them the more agressive they become. Take a nice gentle corner and they'll feel like stock, but take a clover-leaf at 70 mph and they'll become the firm foot underneath your car. Shocks more or less just control how quickly/slowly the spring can compress/expand. In my opinion, when choosing a suspension setup you should first decide which spring you want, then choose the shock that would be the best fit for that application. There of course are many more factors that contribute to handling such as suspension geometry, chassis rigidity, anti-swaybars, braces, bushings, tires, wheels, brakes, and the list goes on.
