New Shocks.

Good morning all,

Just after a little advice re shocks from those that know. My 59/98 Holiday Coupe is in need of new shocks as it handles like a boat. The ones on there at the moment are a gold colour but thats all I know and not sure if originals or not.

The thing is I have been looking at Kanters and U.S Parts supply at their shocks. I am after opinions on Kanters 1) Gas charged shocks they appear to be a standard type, 2) Pleasure ride (wondering if they are like a Sensatrack) and the 3) Extra Heavy Duty Gas Charged Shocks that have the 1 3/8 pistons and 5/8 shafts. Are any of these really adequate?

My other option is to take a front and rear one off and take it to a suspension place here and try to match it.

What are your thoughts and what would you choose? Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks
John.
