On a test run on the rough Minnesota highways I've discovered that I need new shocks all around. We used to use KYB but they aren't available as far as I can see. What else are people using on their II's?
Thank you,
Enzio

That's what I have on the rear, got them from Rock Auto (check our Vendor Forum for a discount code, they're a site sponsor), the matching fronts are in the garage waiting to be installed.

LMR is a great company, did a lot of business with them between the three fox-bodies and two S197s I owned. They don't carry parts for Mustang IIs though.

KYB's weren't readily available in my area, so I just went with monroe for now. Eventually I will change out for QA-1 shocks.

I ordered the KYB's from RockAuto.com. They should be here in a week or so.
