Questions about my 72 w30

Hi
I just found your site and look forward to discussing my project
I have started to re-assemble my 72 w30 conv. frame off
I have the chassis 1/2 back together and just put the rear axle in
Does anyone have any recommendations about shocks' front and rear
I plan to drive the car (nice days)
It has a 4spd with 3.43 gears if that matters
Thanks Jeff

Welcome to the site. Sounds like a sweet car. For a bolt in shock for a driver, I really like Bilstein. I put a set on the wifes' '72 LeMans after one of the KYB shocks sprung a leak and have been really happy with them.

Greetings.

Factory 4-spd? I recommend Bilstein shocks.

I've been extremely happy with the orange Koni shocks. Even at their softest setting, a world of difference compared to stock replacements like Monroe.
