errrrrrrrr your from sacramento also so im not gonna hate on you
but yes you need shocks, even bikes have shocks on them
itll be like riding on a red scooter or some stuff

what kind of modifying are you going to be doing with your car?
what price range do are you looking into?
what springs are you going to be running?
all these things are some of the few questions you want to decide on, before we can recomment a set of shocks
