I've heard KYB Gas-a-just are good performance shocks at a good value, around $40 a peice. For higher perfomance shocks Edelbrocks are great, around $75 a peice. I want those on the rear, I have TCP's varishock coil overs on the front. Pricey. Depends on your application.

I'd go for the KYB GR-2 shocks over the Gas-A-Justs for a better ride and still good performance. I found the Gas-a-justs a bit firmer than I liked.

I have them as well, but for the masses,I think they are more shock $$$ than most U.S. consumers need.

How do the Konis adjust on the 70 Mach 1?

Where you happy with the shocks that were on there?
What use do you have for the car?
What is the rest of the suspension?

currently it appears to have stock suspension and looks mostly original since it is a survivor. it drives like a boat though.bouncy like old cars.

if your goin for more of a sport shock go gas adjust but you definatly want to look into bracing the car if it doesn;t already have good bracing. I need to brace mine, got it up and running today and man it kreaks with how stiff my suspension is
