Not much in the way of aftermarket shocks for FMJ cars. I had a pair of Bilstein shocks on the front and believed them to be the best I could get without modifying the lower control arms to accept GM F body shocks. Found Viking had a part number for Diplomats so I rolled the dice. $230 a piece for double adjustable (19 positions), aluminum bodied shocks. Made to order. I had them in under two weeks. Installed and set them to the top end of the recommended settings for comfort. Absolutely blown away with the way the car drives now.

Front end has 245-40-18 Nitto 555 tires. Aluminum k isolators and 300# torsion bars. Handles amazingly well, road like complete [censored]. Was about to go back down to 15" tires. Not anymore. Car handles the bumps in the road like a modern vehicle. I ran the adjustments up a couple notches and it runs corners better than the Bilsteins still while gliding over garbage Michigan roads.

Pricey, but I got exactly what I paid for. Getting a set of rears now to match.
