Default 1000 lb springs on rear what shocks can take the abuse daily driving?

Ok So ive been driving the car with 1000 lb springs on oem rear. It lasted about 1 month. They are blown and i need some good rear shocks. What is a good brand that I can drive around and race on for a while with out blowing them in a week? Thanks.

Josh

with 1000lb springs you can run stock shocks... at that rate of spring pressure the tires take all the absorbtion and it gets kinda bouncy (trust me we did it for a few years back in the days, used to get nauseaded and throw up...)

dude just get some omnipower drag rear coilovers... I am running them on my daily driven (500 miles/week) EG and considering the rear springs are about 1100 lbs they ride pretty well. I got mine from kteller.com and I have been real happy with them, been running them for about 5 months.

If you do buy them pm me and I can tell you how I set them up because if you set them like the instructions say (too much preload) they will ride like ****.
