I have little complaints about my Diamondback Coil SS, for what it is.
One thing I can't stand is the noisey, clunky rear "Tough Shock". It
is 6.5" from eye to eye and has a 650 lbs. spring. What would be a
good shock to replace it with?

What type of riding do you do? How heavy are you? How much do you want to
spend? do you know how to do the work yourself?

Fox Vanilla or Manitou Swinger. See your LBS to order one. Oh, they
aren't cheap either, but you already have a cheap one.

Mostly road/trail but I would like to get more aggresive. Iweigh 200
lbs. I'd like to keep the $$ under $200 and I do the work myself.
