what shocks can I get for stiffer handling but CHEAP ( specially fronts... stock on rears are still enough, but I still could make the upgrade rear too )

thicker T bars ( 1.06" ) were a great improvement  2thumbs , but I'm still tring to get a little bit less bouncing effect on highway.

I doubt if you will find cheap but stiffer shock? Monroe is the best price for what you get and are like 80 for a set of four.  KYB I heard were stiffer but I heard a lot of negative things and are like 200 for four. KYB are cheaper than the Edelbrocks but I heard Edelbrocks are way better and cost 300 for four. I went for the Edelbrock ones, but wont  know how good they are for a long time to come since I still in the early to midway through the resto. Here is a different thread with links to other threads that may help.

The Monroes are stock specs. . . they'll treat you just like the Gabe's. The KYB's are noticeably stiffer. Obviously too stiff for some, and just what others are looking for.

I was checking KYB models and they offer GAS-A JUST and GR2 models... what is the diff between them ?

For 73 and laters B bodies just GR2s ( in front, what is my main concern ) so I don't have options to choose but will be nice to know the diff between them, because a buddy needs them for his 75 Dart and he has both options. I read about monotuve and twintube... what is that ?

I was reading on Summit about Competition shocks with 3 levels... what about those ?

What other GOOD options on same price rate ?
