Rear Shocks

[aero3113]

I need to replace the rear shocks on my coupe,they sound horrible when I go over bumps. What brand and part number do you recommend that's a decent price?

Unless you wanna go extra high performance, you can't go wrong with KYB's "gas-a-just". I've had them for years and I drive the car really hard on our winding European roads and I never thought I neede more handling than they offer.

Plus they are pretty cheap.

+1 to that. Same as I'm putting on.

I have them as well for the frOnt and rear. I've also changed my front springs from stock springs to 600# coils from Maier Racing. I'm planning on a set of their leaf springs but I first need to change my wheels due to the wrong backspace. Other than that, I like them so far. Ist a nice ride in the freeway, around town and on the twisties driving to the beach (Calif Bay Area). And you can't beat the price.

What part number Gas-A-Just's did you guys use?

did you rear shocks? hell i've experimented so much with shocks in general i have a few sets in the shed. hell, i'm about to change out rear shocks again for a dual adjusting instead of a single adjusting.

i have some mustang plus rear shocks, i bought and used for 3 months before putting on Calvert racing single adjustable shocks on.

i'll be willing to part ways with these cheap if you'd like. hell, i still got good 5 leaf springs in the back that need to go along with other suspension parts that are still good.

let me know.
