Shocks for 140's 140-160 1970

posted by  someone claiming to be Tommy on  Wed Jul 25 08:27 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I need to replace the shocks in my 144s. My research/experience so far has me trying to decide on the following:

KYB Gas-A-Just - My experience with these shocks is that they are too stiff. I called IPD and the salesman echoed that, he said they make for a harsh ride where you feel every bump.

KYB GR2 - These are KYB's low pressure gas shock, I have these on my VW Bug and they ride pretty good. The problem is that they only seem to be available for the front of the 140, not the rear.

Boge - Stock (oil?) shocks. I'm sure they ride good, but wouldn't a gas shock perform better?

Bilstein - Everyone says these are the best, but I can't afford them at over $100 a piece.

Does anyone have any experience with these shocks or any others?
