Shocks for 68 Charger - need opinions from members

[4402tuff4u]

What would be a good set of shocks for street use? I did a search and saw several posts on three way adjustable competition shocks that some members use for street. Just looking for a good set that will make a Charger perform nicely around turns, etc.. The Charger will be getting brand new front end with all poly bushings, etc... Any opinions? Thank you for your help.

I had the KYB's on the car for a while but couldnt stand the harshness over the SINY crappy roads

Swapped them out for some Monroe Gas-Matics ($11.50 each at rockauto.com) and I and my teeth are much happier

I have Gabriel gas shocks on mine, probably an equivalent of the Monroe's...of course that was when it had daily driver duty in say...1991.

I have Competition Engineering drag shocks on mine but I'm still undecided about how I like them on the street.  I'm leaning to not though.

I just installed KYB's on mine about a month ago. I am loving them. We have pretty good roads here in Georgia.

Check out the Edelbrock IAS shocks.  I love them on my 68 RT

I have the KYB gas-a-just shocks also, but my car's not running, so I can't comment yet on how they feel. I liked them in my Jeep Grand Cherokee before I sold it, so I bought 'em for the Charger.

Not to be funny but I can't see them! Are you refering on how the Charger sits? Nice looking Charger by the way!

I'm basically looking for a nice ride and good performance shock. I dont want my kidneys to loose any "shelf life" while driving the Charger .

KYB's....What's the life/mileage span on these things anyway?

Depends how hard you're using them.  I know it's kind of a simplistic answer but it's the truth.  If you are using them everyday on poor roads at high speed with a lot of turns in the road, they'll wear out a lot sooner than one that is driven to the local cruise in twice a month.
