Looking for new shocks ...67 Riviera

Hi Folks,

I want to rebuild the suspension of my 67 Riviera.
I am looking for Bilstein shocks but it is not so simple to find some for the 67 . Could you recomand a Dealer which is dealing with¿ An other question: what other cars have similar shocks and coils?
Many thanks
Klaus

 

you can get bilsteins for the fronts, but they don't make a rear set.

Get an air-bag set for the rear coil springs, and just put a normal set of KYBs in the back.

I'll see if I can find the dealer I used for my front bilsteins.

 

Hi Lemmy,

That would be great.

Thanks,

Klaus

 

The Rear Shocks on the 1966 - 1970 RIVIERAs are the longest passenger car shocks on the planet -- and unique to ONLY
1966 - 1970 RIVIERAS -- and Not even full size Buicks...
I have my last pair of N.O.S. ,++ DELCO ++ shocks listed on this website....
$ 120.00 for the pair + shipping -- would have to check how much to Germany, unless you have some method....

 

Think I still have a pair of vintage aftermarket rears, new in box, leftover from when i had my 66 Riv. Will look for them if you are interested.

N.O.S. ++ DELCO ++ Pleasurizers is as GREAT as you can get ---- are you waiting until my last pair is sold -- do you can kick yourself for not grabbing them????

 

Hi

thanks for the many offers but I have decided to buy new Shocks from Bilstein

Last Weekend I have replaced the Shocks and the ride is great.

 

How have they worked? And what’s the difference from stock?

 

the whole suspension was very soft and the inclination of the car in curves was very high. Now the feeling of the riding is much stiffer and sporty
