best shocks for a daily driver 73 dart

Here's another vote for KYBs They're a big upgrade from the likes of Monroe/Gabriel, without making new problems. They always went in easily, worked well, and lasted long for me, at reasonable cost. That's the KG4509 front (yes, even tho the linked listing says "truck/rear") and the KG5511 rear, for all A-bodies.

I agree Gabriel or Monroe. What ever is priced better. Amazon gas Monroe at like 25-26 bucks each delivered.
I went through this yesterday. As I Gabriel on a car. After many years of bouncing around one seal leaked some fluid. Yes gas charged has some fluid too.
I have no problem with KYB.
In fact the upgrade to KYB was not much h more. I bought them instead. Autozone, Advanced, O'Reilly were 65-70 for rears. Amazon was 42 delivered and had a gift card so was a no brainer. I got the last of the Front KYB at 33 but says more on way.
The ride of kyb might be slightly harsher but we have bad street.
My wife's 2008 beater Honda Civic coupe had need for new factory shocks Kyb makes a factoryreplacement so KYB it was.. Does not ride harsh and handles like on rails.
If on budget Monroe all the way.they are a bargain for what you get
