good front shocks are very helpful but they don't in my experience
help the rear axle cope with rough surfaces in cornering.  For that,
you need new, better/more modern rear shocks.  (Sorry Ed.)

great.  I imagine the step up is like the bilsteins.  The performance
improvements over stock are nice to have.  Hope that helps.
