Good stock shock for,72 88 convertible, don't want to spend for Bilstiens or Koni, decent flaps brand around 100$ total

rock auto shows a ton of shocks fro your 72 88

from ~$12 a piece to much more

even the KYBs would only set you back less than $150 for all four corners

AC DElco has a nmber of offerings as well...heres a sample

I have the KYB gas adjust on my car and they make the car handle great for the money. I got them off of Amazon for less than rockauto.

Considered the gas adjust, had them on my Baja bug last century, was just looking for some real world experience with other gas shocks and stock style, saw Rock auto also, just wondering if Monroe are better then Gabriel, or stock gas Delco's, ect. shocks on it look pretty new, not rusty but old bounces quite a bit also!

I had Monroes in the rear for the last 9 years, they were ok, but the KYBs are better.

Got the KYBs from rock auto, got a rebate also, soon as I get the gas tank fixed we will know how they handle, much stiffer in the bounce test however so that's good.
