I have a 70 barracuda that I put a Gen 2 Hemi in. I rebuilt the front suspension and added 1.05 torsion bars and KYB shocks on the front which are probably a bit better than standard gas shocks. I have 17" wheels v rated tires, 13" front discs. The rear has a new set of Mopar ss springs on a Dana 60. I have always been more of a drag racer and I am not going to go autocrossing. The car does not have sway bars on it, and I probably won't put any on at this time, I am not ruling them out though. It has welded in subframe connectors and a reinforced k-frame and the lower control arms have the welded on aftermarket braces. The question that I have is rear shocks. I really don't want to spend $400 on a pair of shocks for what is going to be mostly a cruiser, but I want to step up from the KYB's if possible. The front rebuild, bigger bars and kyb made a huge difference over stock, and I would like to upgrade the rear for a more balanced package, any advice?

Check out Firm Feel for suspension needs or Hotchkis.
