Shocks: looking for Blistein quality at KYB price.

i rescind my previous statement and issue the following corrected statement:

.870 (or .890 bars), moog problem solver uppers, factory joints and rubber all around (including struts), poly on the sway bar, good monroe/gabriels from the parts house. stock V8 springs out back-- not HD or +1 or anything-- stock V8, rubber front eyes with poly shackle bushings. subframe connectors. align per the skosh chart.

Ha. So you're not confident that the Bilsteins would be helpful in a darned original configuration.

Fair enough.

Hey, this is a granny car. It's got a 1bbl slant-six with an all-original exhaust system with a factory muffler and a 1-1/2" tailpipe.
It is completely original and low mileage.

I'm not messing with it too much. This is just a little museum piece I can take out a cruise around in from time to time.

I like Bilsteins. I've used them for years. I'd like to put them on this car, as it has factory original shocks, but I just wanted to check others' experiences.

Thank you, though.
