WHAT SHOCKS TO BUY: KYB VS Monroe VS Bilstein's

California Dart said
For anyone wondering what shock rides best on the older cars:
I bought my 74 Dart and it rode like crap. Had stock shocks on the back and KYB's on the front. It was driving me crazy with the lousy ride. I forgot how bad older heavier cars rode. Well, I spent the nearly $400.00 for new Bilstein's hoping it would help.
I was absolutely amazed at the complete difference a set of Bilstein's makes on this car. It was like driving a completely different car. Even cornering was good. DO NOT waste your money on KYB shocks. Bilstein's will cost you about $200.00 more and they are worth every single penny and then some.

So you have a 74 Dart,with KYB's on the front,and "stock shocks" on the back,
and your car rode like crap because of the KYB's ?
Doesn't seem like your comparing apples to apples. Put on a set of new KYB'S,all around,and report back. I run KYB's on my 65,70,74 Darts, and consider them the best,all around, bang for the buck shock available,followed by Monroe's.

Unless you have a track car DO NOT waste your money on Bilsteins.
