Shocks are 23 years old but little mileage on the 68.. Monroe shocks.
I am sure there has been some improvement in shocks in all those year. Any suggestions on a good shock for regular driver.

The KYB GRZ go for about 124.00 a set. and the KYB Gasajust Performance shock at $194.00 a set. Any idea on which one to go with. Maybe you just get what you pay for.

The regular AC/Delco gas shocks are fine for daily drivers, and much cheaper, too.
Not that the KYBs aren't good, or worth the $$$....just saying for a driver that don't get driven hard, the AC/Delcos work pretty well.

I'd go with the AC shocks...they'll do for all but the most sporting purposes. If not AC, I'd spend the money and get a set of Edelbrock IAS shocks...as good as shocks get.

I had KYB gas a just on my 71 convert, and switched to blistein sport shocks the ride was like night and day. I know it was better because the wife noticed it and she just doesn't care about car stuff so that just goes to show you the differance.You can pick up a set for about 235.00 if you shop around and it is worth you time.............my .02

Ok..so we got KYB..Bilstien and stock shocks..if he wants stock parts ie.. Judge quality, what and where can they be found? I think another thing that may come up is how to get them off the lower arm In the rear..
