    I'm looking for new rear coilsprings and rear shocks?
    What's the best option for me?
    Wich one to buy and where?
    It is for a '69 Riviera GS.

    Bart,
    Were you able to find some springs? I'm doing my rear this weekend with Monroe Sensatraq and Eaton Springs. I'll let you know how it goes.

    Came out great. Your Rivi is probably different but getting to the top nuts of the shocks was a workout. I needed longer, thinner arms. And the dirt... But the ride is great! Please don't ask how my rear is again. LOL Thanks

    Mike,

    How are the Sensa-trak shocks? What's the ride like?

    It's good. I did the front first and was very impressed with the change. The rear is good but i think when it comes time to replace them I'll try KYB. They have one that will fit the rear.

    I think getting rid of the bias-plys will help a ton too. Then upgrade the anti-sway bar... does it ever end. :Do No:

    Glad to hear it! I looked at the Sensa-Traks, but in the end went with air lift shocks for the towing...

    Does it ever end? Don't think so...unless some rich uncle I don't know of leaves me a ton of $$$...then maybe after I spent my weight in 20's for a year or so...but then I'd think of something else to add/change after that! :laugh:

    Thanks Ed
