My '75 has had everything replaced suspension wise after I bought the car with the exception of the front shock inserts.
I have Sport Billistein on rear with 120# springs, 16X6" fuchs front, rear has 7"'s - 5 lug upgrade but that's just the redrilled rotors on front- Looking for suggestions on best combo of not too soft but not too hard- Rear Billisteins are pretty firm- ive read a few differing opinions here over the past 8 years, just wondering what would be most affordable for a good insert - I can see the ones there now are very old and are loosing their ability to work properly and should change this out before Okteenerfest. so, what are my options? Who carries them besides the usually culprits like AA or Stoddard, Ecklers etc? any of our venders? Eric, PMB? I got all my brakes from there- I think I got the rear shocks from an E-bay seller, I cant really remember now that's been 4-5 years ago, Thanks Phil |

Bilstein B4 will give the most comfortable ride, B8s are their stiffest. I just went to B6 from B8 and find the front still too stiff for street driving. Wish I had gone with the B4s
Bought them from Rebel Racing in SLO, CA |
