Unfortunatly $100 isn't going to get you much of anything. Keep saving up, and frequent the for sale section on here. If you're patient, you'll find a set of quality used shocks. I run PEPs triple rates with rezzies on a +2+1 arm and it really makes jumps smooth. Its like riding a marshmellow! Be careful of E-bay auctions. I've heard reports of "deals" ending up being junk shocks that end up costing more to fix than they're worth new.

 

PS, boost bottles offer no performance increase and have been known to crack the intake manifold where they mount to. This causes an air leak which will lean out the AFR, which can destroy a motor pretty quickly. You may want to look into a stock crossover tube or at the very least inspect the rubber manifolds very often.

$100, won't get much, even in today's market.

 

For a set of dual rate non reservoir Works shocks, in good shape, ready to bolt on, expect to spend $200-$250.
