Best shock absorber for the dollar?

[Crs]

Thinking about buying some KYB GR-2's for my 68........$22 each from Summit Racing. Is there a better buy out there?

The Kayaba GR2 is a very good choice.

I do not intend to hijack your thread, but has anyone used the QA1 adjustables up front on their 65-66 car? I am looking for a good adjustable shock for street/strip use.

I run Afcos double adjustable shocks. Best DA for the money

I think that KYB Gas Adjust or KYB GR2 are both really good shocks for the money. I run the gas adjust on mine and I am really happy with them. Some prefer the GR2 because they aren't as stiff. I really don't think you can get a better shock for the price.

I think i will go with the KYB's. Plus, hopefully by going to a 45 series tire in the front, (currently 40 series) i wont feel every bump on the road.

I have GR-2's and love 'em. They work perfectly with my 5-leaf rears for a nice ride and outstanding handling.

i have KYBs on three different cars and they are stiff and great for improved handling. I
would reccomend them to anyone with low budget and a desire to increase handling.

I have tried Koni's KYB and KYB GR2s. It all depends on how you have the car set up and what you want. I went soft on the spring rate and used the shock to stiffen it up a bit(KYB Gas) and it seems to be the perfect balance for a daily driver. Now if you already have high rate springs in the car and want a decent ride then go with the GR2. If ride quality is not important but performance is, then you have a choice from a bunch of builders. Koni's being the best for the money. QA1's are top of the line but bring your check book.
Side Note: QA1 is a customer of mine and I have seen the quality that goes into them. Top Notch! American made stuff.

varishocks are better than QA1s for teh same price.

Penskes if you have the money.

Shocks

I got QA1 single adjustable shocks from Summit Racing, with a 10% coupon code, price seemed reasonable for the quality. Sometimes CJ Pony Parts has specials and the price is fair for the set. My brother got his set there.

Also check out Calvert's Rancho adjustable shocks.
