Shocks

["jsadowski" <jsadowski@xxxxxxx>]

If the back end is sitting low, thats a sign that the leaf springs are tired & need to be rearched or replaced. New shocks will do little for the height of the car, unless you put air shocks. I have them in my 69, but not sure that I really like them. They seem to just stiffen the back end & not allow the suspension to do its job.

Subject: IML: Shocks

Have a " 61 " Imperial and noticed back end is fairly low. Car has 92000 miles and never had shocks replaced to my knowledge.Father purchased car new [ $ 7000.00 ]
           Are there any special shocks that I should be purchasing or extra heavy duty types that are required?  Please advise, thank you John l
