I am building a 62 Dodge Dart for street use only. What would be a good shock for the car. Front end is totally rebuilt and as the Hemi torsion bars. I have the stock sway bar and new stock height rear springs.
My wife uses our Fox non-adjustable on her 62 Dart 440. She autocrosses occasionally and it's her daily.

I very pleased with the bilsteins on my Challenger. 1" torsion bars and stock rear leafs. Rides even nicer than the stock t-bars and parts store generic shocks.
When I get more aggressive with spring rates I will most likely have to go to the fox adjustables

Every one, and I mean everyone I've talked to, that have switched from Bilstien or Koni or KYB to the new Fox-Hotchkis shocks, absolutely swear by them. I'm buying two sets, one for my cruiser Barracuda, one set (probably adjustable) for my racer Valiant...

Maybe I've missed something about the new Fox-Hothckis shocks mentioned here. I believe I oiginally saw that they were only non-adjustable. Is that what you're referencing?
I also thought I saw a mention in one of the threads, somewhere here on Moparts, that Hotchkis was introducing some kind of adjustable shocks -- single or double adjustable?... is that true?... and if yes, is that what is you are referencing? Non-adjustable or adjustable?

Mitch, I am looking at getting one set of each. The non-adjustable for my cruiser Cuda which are available now, and the adjustable for my racer Valiant, which should be available in the next couple months...
