1969_Mach1 333 Report post Posted January 26, 2020 Are your Koni shocks old and worn out? If not, it seems like a downgrade to KYB Gas-A-Just shocks. If you have stronger than stock springs, the KYB shocks will make the ride more harsh. 1 Grabber70Mach reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MikeStang 247 Report post Posted January 27, 2020 CPP Coil over conversion for the front end is what I swapped to... Came with Viking Double adj Coil overs and used stock mounting locations but removes the Spring perch... and they were right at $400.00 for the set..I LOVE MINE Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mustangstofear 608 Report post Posted January 29, 2020 I talked to CPP while we were at SEMA. They would be the best bang for your buck, compared to S or T. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lanky 44 Report post Posted January 30, 2020 Just to put it out there, I have Bilstein shocks with the "sport" valving. Those with the common .620 drop springs were to stiff for a street car IMO. I have to replace my springs anyway so I'll be getting softer ones, and I imagine the combo will be a lot better with different (softer) springs.

I completely agree with this recommendation, and also recommend a street valved Bilstein setup. I love the set I have, and it was a huge upgrade from what I had before. 1 Grabber70Mach reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spider69 16 Report post Posted February 3, 2020 Hi guys, Got an error message opening ridetech.com ?? maybe because I'm in France! Front Koni are worn out yes, and I decided to replace front and rear. I have stock springs, so I guess KYB should not destroy confort :), I hope so. I got the new shocks, install next week, I let you know Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mustangstofear 608 Report post Posted February 3, 2020 Viking is a spin off of QA1 which is what we use. They are the same double adjustable with 18 settings for rebound and 18 for compression. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
