Re: Chevelle front shocks
Afco with big nose valving would be a choice if price is important.
If you have a bigger budget ,you will have a hard time doing better than a pair of Santhuff shocks with a stock type front end.

Re: Chevelle front shocks
If Afco BNC shocks are not in your budget, Koni's gas fill adjustable shock is far better than the SPA-1 that doesn't belong on anything with a big block over the front tires.

Re: Chevelle front shocks
Call Santuff and ask how long a rebuild will take, or how long to fix a leaky one. Or if the person you buy them from can service them Than call Randy at Fastshocks.
