So I’m starting to order parts to rebuild and improve the suspension on my 1973 Duster build. I had a set of the early days of the Blistein shocks redone by Hotchkis on my Cuda and Charger and loved them. Made the KYB’s on there prior feel like worn air shocks in comparison. 10 years later,I want that same quality, but not the $600+ price. Is there any shocks similar to the Blistein quality but at a cheaper price? Love to know what you guys have used.

I have the Koni classic orange adjustable shocks on the front and QA1 single adjustable shocks on the rear of my Savoy. It hooks good and rides like a new car when I turn them down. I had a little over $600 for all four corners though but the ride and hook are worth it.

Nobody have any kind of info?

huge thread on FBBO right now about this. Everyone saying bilsteins.

Nope...
If U want the Bilstein ride and quality, U need to step up and pay the $$...
There are no free rides.....

Just my $0.02....

Plenty of KYB quality shocks at Bilstein prices though.

I got my KYB thru Rock Auto...

I still have my 1985 1-ton E350 that I put Bilstein shocks on back in the very early '90's and they now have over 300k miles on them and work fine. I want to replace them to get a fresh set and checked the prices, going for around $170 each and I didn't even blink when I saw the current prices. Well worth the price for quality shocks with a quality ride that have performed like they have for over 300k miles and over three decades. I never liked the KYB's on anything I've put them on and there's a reason why they cost less than Bilstein's. A friend of mine used to say "Not all meat is the same, you can eat bologna sandwiches all day long for not much money, but if you want to eat steak ya gotsta pay the price".

Dang, can’t believe the market for shocks is so limited. Won’t get KYB’s. Member offered me a set of rears here, but with spring, tire and overall height, looks like it won’t work. Heard PST might have some Blist’s on sale, but might just have to scrounge around a bit more and see what is comparable.

I was checking at Rockauto for one of my cars. They were a lot cheaper there than anywhere else I've seen.

Yep, just checked out Rockauto and $100 each for rears for the E350 (best other price $128 for rears at other shops) but sadly no fronts at this time. Asked to be notified when fronts are available. Thanks for the heads up on the RA.

looks like PST as a full set calibrated for mopar applications. Also they offer 10% of and free shipping on orders with fabo club members, so I I'm just end up using that. That would save me close to $100, so I'm grateful for something.
