oil filled shocks are great for stock cars...if you have lowered the car or like more spirited driving gas shocks are the best, but they will make the ride a little stiffer.... if you want the best of both worlds get this:
Gas shocks just put a compressed gas chamber above the oil filled part to keep the oil pressurized. This prevents cavitation and keeps the oil-filled part full of oil, until the partition between the oil and gas parts runs out of travel.
One of the problems with standard shocks is that that all shocks slowly lose oil, so the damping chamber gets partly filled with air, which does no damping, as the piston passes thru that part.
