What is the best shocks to use on a 57 ford ( custom 300 ) ? Do most of you go back with new original shocks, or is there a good proformance shock,( gas,coil over,etc ) that works better ? Brand,part number would be helpful,Thanks,Tarheel57 :unitedstates:
Gabriel gas charged shocks for the front, part 82099, available from most of the parts stores.
Rears are 81270. I've used both of these. Last time around I made the mistake of putting on a set of 90/10 Comp Engineering drag shocks. They worked good at the track, ok on the street, but you couldnt go fast into a turn. Then also I had 15x3.5 on the front too...The Gabriels or Monroe equivalents are really the way to go if you drive your car.
