Good shocks?
I'm looking for good ride shocks, don't need to be ultra stiff, but of good or excellent quality and longevity. Just for the front for now - the rears I'll do later along with new leafs (if it needs them).

I use the KYB on mine and they are pretty good. Another option would be Bilstein's
4th generation B bodys- there is no substitute.

Re: Good shocks?
You can find a lot of options when it comes to shocks. Getting the right shocks for your car also depends if you want to add other parts such as springs. Bilstein is usually recommended to be paired with H&R or Eibach springs.

Re: Good shocks?
I think it comes down to what do you want to spend balanced with what you want from the shocks. I chose Kong's because they are priced in the middle, but most important, they are adjustable.

I used KYB's on my '71 GTX.
Re: Good shocks?
I'm very pleased with the performance of KYB's. They are no pricey also.

KYB's or Billstein's are good. I have Billstein's myself

I run double adjustable QA1, if I wasn't running this setup it would be bilstein.
