Im looking to get new front shocks on the front of my cuda to replace the originals. Any opinions, I was looking at the QA1 single adjustables. The Car is mainly a street car with a few trips to the strip every now and then.

What color was you original shocks? I bought a set of adjustable Konis to try some people liked them, and they won't bust the bank. I'm gonna paint them, that's why I asked about the color.

Agree for mostly street/occasional strip. With OE or close spec suspension, a good set of gas replacement shocks should work fine.

From what I can tell they look like they were originally black
