Rear spring & shock recommendation and informtion
Permalink  
 


All most my  whole suspension and steering has been rebuilt to stock on my 66 SS, in addition  and I added a larger front sway bar along with a rear sway bar.  I did not replace the front or rear springs or the rear shocks.  I think I replaced the fronts shocks with Monroe but not sure on the number. All new control arm bushings and body mount bushings and ball joints.  I also did a conversation on my ps gear from 17:1 to 12:1.

I am thinking of replacing the rear shocks and springs and looking for recommendations.  Car is just street driven, engine is a  396 with a 4 sp.  Looks like spring will run $60 (moog) - $160 depending upon selection and shocks from $50- $200, again depending upon what to go with, like Monroe or Bisteins?  Thanks

For what we use our cars for, the Bilsteins are a waste of money. I have KYB shocks on both of the '66's and the '67 Camaro. Nice riding, improved handling and attractive price.
