I run Bilstien to. I had the KYB and I hated them. one of the best additions I made to the cuda.

I got QA1 single adjustable shocks, and they really suck. Totally harsh.  I have them set on -2 for any comfort at all.  Does anyone know the part number for Bilsteins, it appears they no longer make shocks for any old Mopars.

PlumCrazy -- did you try Firm Feel?   I believe they sell Bilsteins for our old Mopars.

The Monroe shocks all compress easily and separate slow. Like a current MP drag shock, and all wrong. The E-body low rides compared to other Mopars. Stay away.
    I use the Summit drag shocks @ 50/50 rear (xf) and medium setting on the front (f). It's working better than other cheapies from the chain stores.
   If someone had a recipe for the multi-adjustable brands,  I'd give them a try when I feel rich.
   Gas charged shocks are suited to an A-body with weak torsion bars.

I have the Hotchkis 1.5 SPS non adjustable shocks (front and rear) on my 70 Cuda and love them.
