Replacing springs and shocks on my 69 Malibu Convertible 350 / 250 HP 2 V.

Please advise what shocks you would recommend?

What do you think of the (Year One) KYB Gas Shocks?

You can get the KYB shocks anywhere. They are like $26 a piece. I have AC Delco replacements on my 69 and plain old Monroe Gas shocks on my 70.

I had KYB's on the front of my Chevelle for several years. Loved them on the street. Cost about 26 bucks at local auto parts store. They made a huge difference in handling over stock style shocks. I took them off, reluctantly, only to install drag shocks for better weight transfer.
