What are you using for good all around use shocks? We don't race our car but we do drive the hell out of it to shows, cruises etc. Any suggestions will help narrow the choices. Thanks.

I run the edelbrock performer IAS on mine and they feel real nice. Firm but not too bad. and they are not too expensive-320 bucks on summit for the set. I hear good thing about Bilsteins as well but never tried them.-400 bucks

+1 for bilsteins rcd

I have the Edelbrocks too, not fitted yet but I bought em because of all the awesome reviews
"An aggressive exterior with power to match was enough to pull in the performance boys-especially when abetted by a pair of pipes blaring out the back, and brawny red-sidewall rubber hitting the pavement."

Thanks everyone for your replies. There are so many choices out there it tends to get confusing...at least for me.  :shruggy:

I bought mine from JC Whitney, they are just nitrogen charged shocks and were also painted black like stock. They do just fine by me and feel alot better than more expensive shocks. They were like 19 bucks a piece. But that was 7 years ago.  :Twocents:

KYB Gas adjusts on my 73. Good overall . A little harsh on pot holes.

Nacho: welded a plate with a 2" hole in it on the bottom of my LCA. I use Monty Carlo ( dog bone lower mount) front shocks now. More shock choices now.

$400 for shocks is a bit over my budget in this economy.........I went with KYB's.
