I thought they were making Bilstein gas shocks for '68/'69 B-bodies but the Bilstein site doesn't have a listing for them. Is someone just using another application shock and selling them as '68/'69 B-body shocks or am I just wishfull thinking that there are actually correct spec shocks available?  Thanks. MikeR

I have those Hotchkis Bilsteins in my Barracuda. Very nice. And great job and taming my 3 times stock spring rate torsion bars.
I've run KYB's, Konis, QA1's, Herb Adams VSE shocks in the past. The Bilsteins feel the best so far.

used them since the '70's on my 02 bimmer's (that I autocrossed  still have two 02's now with them on) and on the wife's Sirocco and a Jetta GLI but have KYB's on the Road Runner and it just wallows at speed and rides like sh,, I was looking at a set of non-gas Koni's but thought I saw black Bilstein DeCarbon shocks for Mopars and now see RCD is making them.  I hope that's $400 a set because that's a good price for a set of front and rears IMO. Thanks for the link Richie and comment Steve. MikeR

Ad states "This kit is sold as a 4 pack of shocks and includes two fronts, and two rears."
I've used them on my drivers for years, good stuff, just bought a set for my GF's Miata..... Now I need to pony up for a set for my Challenger...

I have Konis and bigger torsion bars on my 70 Roadrunner but it still doesn't handle in the canyon sweepers like my RWD turbo Mitsu Conquest. I would have bought the Bilsteins if available @ the time, as previously I have had these on several vehicles and think they are the best... Just my $0.02..
