suspension question.

Looks like the rear shocks on the 72 are due to be replaced. I'd rather not do the fronts until the I get the entire suspension redone this coming winter.

I'd like to upgrade the performance as a road car. What brands do you folks recommend?

If you are primarily driving on the street, go with any of the major brands you see in the Pelican catalog(hint, hint).
I have Boges in front with Bilstein rears and they work nicely for me. Not too harsh but good handling. My SC is very low so you give up ride quality for that compromise, anyway.

I just put Bilsteins all the way around on my 73.5.....Very happy...It came with Boge's, but you can order a Bilstein's to go in the front Strut - Pelican has them......
