The front shocks are weird. Short stroke and very stiffly valved for such a light car - because they work between the arms and don't have a lot of travel. Dunno what else would work there besides PV shocks, although I have heard that perhaps some early Ford pickup shocks would fit. Fit and work well aren't quite the same thing, though... For mine, I bucked up and got some Bilsteins from KgTrimning.

On the back, I took note of the the style of upper and lower fittings, and then measured the long and short measurements, and then found some Fox body Mustang rear shocks that fit. They were cheap, gas pressure, and I figured if they didn't work well I'd get Bils for the rear too, but 9 years later the Mustang shocks are still there and working great.
