Edelbrock is discontinuing the IAS shock.

They were on sale at Summit and I tried to order - but they sold out.  Even worse, Edelbrock told Summit that they're no longer making these shocks.  That leaves me trying to decide what to do now.  The IAS shocks seem to be the favorite here by far, and I wasn't able to locate any that will fit a 68 (34840) on Ebay.  What others have people been really happy with?  Any close alternatives?

Thanks!

Edelbrock isnt making them but I thought they sold that part of their business to QA1?  Maybe check with them.

I have heard a few negative comments about the IAS shocks....probably why they are disco'd

I went with these RCD Bilsteins  (partially because they have a more "stock" appearance as well as high quality).....will go on in the spring



Got them from these guys....which have the best price & FREE shipping

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.  I'll definately give these some thought.

What?  I just bought a set of rears because everyone here was raving about them!

Beats me, I haven't heard any complaints about them.  I would think it was a bad business fit for Edelbrock as a whole so I can see them dropping the line for that reason.  Are they still in the wheel business?

There is nothing wrong with that shock.  The Bilstiens and the Eddy's are both Montube body's.  Ideal for these cars when doing cornering and for normal driving.

It just comes down to supply and demand.

Most of the comments I heard were over @ Moparts...maybe mostly because they were being disco'd?

I probably should've bought the front shocks as well....
