Hi,

I'm ready to purchase front shocks. I was just going to buy the monroe 20 dollar shocks, the other shock I'm looking at is almost twice the price it's a kyb gas shock. This is for a 74 318 barracuda, nothing high performance, but if it makes the ride smoother or handling better, I'll spend the extra $.
Thanks.

The gas shocks will let the car handle better. If you dont drag race it and want the better handling then I would get the gas shocks. I just have the 20$ dollar Monroe shocks on my 63 as it handles good enough on the street and they work good at the track. But I am not worried making my 63 handle for road racing. Ron

Thanks, This week I'm replacing UCA bushings and cams, Brake calipers, brake lines, and shocks. I'm going with all stock replacement parts so far with this restore.
