I have a 74 Duster and I have SS springs on the rear and had to add a 3" lowering block to each side of the axle to get the ride height back to somewhat normal, but my shocks seem too short. Is this possible, and if so what shock should I run on the rear axle and what brand do you recommend?
Thanks
Gary

Do you know what KYB shock would work on the rear and is KYB a good shock? Thanks

I'm using the kyb's, i like them, i have ss springs but the car sits fine without lowering blocks
What type of car do you have the KYB's mounted on? I installed the SS springs on my Duster ane the rear end was way up in the air, so i added the lowering blocks and the ride height is about normal. Thanks
