Re: [FWDLK] Gas Shocks?

[Scott H <kneedrager@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

John,
I agree, I have had very good success with KYB's in everything from a 69
Skylark to a 93 minivan.  I a light car like the minivan you willl notice a
bit of a firmer ride, not truck harsh more like a european car. On a heavy
car like the Buick I eliminated a lot of body roll and mushiness. The ride
quality did not noticibley suffer.
I an not where near putting shocke in my 56 but I will use the kyb's when i
get there.

Only way to go, as far as I am concerned:  KYB shocks.  They are 500 times
better than anything else out there. Really.  I have installed them on all
my Mopars, and the improvement in handling is...shocking, to say the least !

Get #KG4507 for the front  (will need to grind off a little bit of the lower
metal "tube" thru which the attaching bolt fits through)  and #KG5511 for
the rears.

and Kanter Auto Products are offering in place of the std. hydrualic ones
for Chryslers or Desotos?  I have just finished restoring my 58 Firedome
Conv. and I am finding it very hard to find the original type std. hydrualic
shocks.  I guess no makes them any longer.  I have tried the new gas shocks
from Monroe on several other 50's cars and have had very poor luck with the
handling.
