Anyone bought these repro shocks and mounted them.
Need input if they are any good.
Compared to Year One repro,for a 70 Challenger R/T.
$70 a piece instead of NOS $1000-1500 a pice

No

But a good alternative is to buy your shock of choice (KYB, Edelbrock, Bilstein) then paint it semi flat black to match the originals.

What I mean, If I can't afford NOS shocks is the repro shocks from Goodmark or YearOne the best choice for the OEM look.
I know I can buy better shocks for the best handling, but this question is for looks.

thanks

So you are really doing a judged show with the car, in Scandanvia? Modern shocks are way better these days than they used to be, they really help the ride of these cars. By 'em and paint to look like they should.
