I got them cheap enough so if I don't like them they will go on the swap shelf. Gus Why not get some nice adjustables and forget the freebies... plus a nice set is better on the track let alone the road Mr.P I will probably go the adjustable route when work picks up in the summer but right now 300-400 for an inexpensive set seems too much right now. Mancini has the Lakewoods on sale now for $14.95 each so I know the shocks on the front now are too loose.It come up fast but then when braking it dives and feels unstable at high speed. I just figured what the heck $30.00 for a pair of new shocks that might be better than what I have now it's a cheap gamble Gus 6366067-burnoutpicturegus.JPG (37 downloads) 64 Plymouth Savoy 493 Indy EZ's by Nick at Compu-Flow 5-Speed Richmond faceplate Liberty box Dana 60

I bought and I'm using the B body shocks on my Duster now A good freind of mine who has set several NHRA world record in stock class cars(Mopars cars of course ) has bought ,tested and treid all of the shocks mentioned on here including the Ranckos and calvert, he has the same part # Koni that I'm using on hos world record setting cars HE does not drive his race cars on the street is the only differences Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964.
