shock recommendations
My Valiant has Bilsteins and absolutely love them, especially with the large torsion bars up front.
On my 1970 Challenger 440 4 speed street bruiser (13.9@101mph) I have high quality Gabriel parts store replacements and the ride is nice and they work good.
I have used KYB shocks in the past on a B-body, they have a rough ride quality, especially with stiffer springs. I will not be using KYB shocks again.
