I just bought front and rear shock set from Breeze. Give Mark a call.

I'm not getting gray, I'm adding chrome....
“Under-steer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car and over-steer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car. Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall and torque is how far you take the wall with you.”
-- Jacques Schnauzee "World Famous Racecar Driver"
"If you can make black marks on a straight from the time you turn out of a corner until the braking point of the next turn, then you have enough horsepower."--Mark Donohue
What for? Makes a big difference. For a fun street car, the non-adjustable Koni's from FFR are a great bang for the buck. But if you race the car, Spend the big bux for a set of double adjustable shocks with Koni springs.

Your choices are:
---Have the A273 Bilsteins rebuilt for $35 (the A274s on a solid axle do not need to be done)
---SA Konis from FFR
---DA Konis from FFR or Gordon
---DA QA1s from Breeze
As Bob said it kind of depends on what you want to do with the car---I have 2 cars I've built for customers racking up lots of street cruiser miles on the retrofitted Bilsteins.

GREAT FEEDBACK! My bad not clarifying - I don't race it and I'd rather have nice 'street-able' ride - the roads here in California REALLY suck and I'm running 17' Halibrands with Nitto 555 G'2s Jeff Kleiner - thanks for the list - It really helps with my decision!
