    HEy guys. My springs and shocks are shot on my 70 skylark convertable 350 4bbl project. im planning on doin the shocks first. Anybody have suggestions for brands. Im pretty much just looking for a comfy ride and I have very little money. But I dont want to buy something thats gunna blow on me in a year.
    Thanks

    Just throw a set KYB gas adjust's on.......I think their still fairly reasonable on the wallet.

    Run them on the rear and my car 1.60's in the 60'....stock suspension with the original......yep, original springs. Off idle footbrake, so they can't be too bad :grin: Or maybe they just work 4 me.

    I digress.....your probably not look'n to race the car anyway :Comp:

    if you have the cash a nice pair of edelbrock ias classic shocks or bilstien hp1000s are good at a reasonable price

    edels are around 89 a pair while the nilstines are like 130
