Well I've been reading through the postings and forums and I've narrowed it down to the Hotchkis adjustables by fox or the Bistein RCD's. My car is a 67 GTS 4 speed. Changes made so far: polyurethane bushings all around including mounting bushings for rear 6 leaf springs.
Boxed LCA, 1.03 torsion bars, 16:1 quick ratio firm feel manual box, I'm running the factory front BB sway bar. Should I but the hotchkis sway bar mounting brackets and have them welded to my LCA's because I bought some boxed ones at a good deal and they didn't have the brackets? Or should I buy the kind that mount differently for potential upgrade at some point to bigger front sway bar? Are these shocks worth the extra money over Bilsteins with what I have done?
Price $780.00 set of 4.
