1972 Chevelle (not SS) with 454 swap. Looking to replace the stock shocks.

Anybody have some recommendations? I'm doing front and rear. This is just for a weekend toy, not a real drag car or anything.

Here are some that I'm thinking about:

I figured for something that was not going to be crazy fast, these should work. Anybody with advice?

I'm happy with mine. My use was just like yours but going to install QA1's because I'm going drag racing.

I had the KYB's on the El Camino and recently changed to Bilsteins. The change made the handling much better without making the ride harsh, but the price is double of the KYB shock.
