Put these on my 66 Galaxie. I don’t like a harsh ride, so bought these as stock equivalent shocks and they work fine, a nice smooth ride. On a side note, I do like pretty control, so I added a 1 2/8″ front stabilizer bar. So now the car rides smooth, but takes corners a lot better.

Awesome
r. becks –
once on the car they are great. 67 chevelle it is. however the lower mount on the shock itself is too wide to fit into the’ pocket’ in the a arm without shortening both sides of the shock mount at least .125 inch, or 1/8 inch. theres plenty of meat to grab left. its just a pain in the butt to find out during installation. have fun folks.

Good quality.
Great shocks for the money! They fit properly and installation was a breeze. Personally…. in my opinion after installation and a few test drives, these shocks are overkill !
