Try OC Shocks. Only heard "good things" about them!

Heres the place I've used ,but they dont do the old red steel bodies, only the newer aluminum bodies.

Danny's shocks may be a good bet if yours are steel.

Koni quoted me 125 a piece plus parts for rebuilding my camaro struts last week. I bought a set of 90/10s and said screw it. One of the konis is leaking bad and is very tight on extension. If they hadn't been on the car when I bought it, I would have never paid good money for them

I`m not trying to hijack Jeffs post, but I have a pair of the yellow Koni "road racing" double adjustable steel struts for a 1979-93 FOX body Mustang, and I was wondering if anybody knows if these can be converted to a D/A drag setup?

Yes you can, we use to take the double adjustables that were used on the Shelby GT 350 and have the converted to the drag race set up for the Mustang and Mavericks.

Chad, which 90-10's did you buy & does the car leave any better ??

I have the Koni's in there & they feel too stiff.

i just put the lakewoods on last week. Putting the motor back in this week and I will let you know. I did it on advice from Jimmy Parker, and he tends to be spot on.
