Default RE: what shocks for a 65

I have red Konis in front and Gas-a-just in back just about to go in. Should be a decent combination.
And listen to what starfury says: shocks do _NOT_ affect ride height.
A shock just makes it harder to move for a spring. but eventually it will end up in the position the spring wants it to go. So forget about what anyone told you. It technically makes no sense. They affect the spring rate, and they might affect in how low the car will go when going over a bumby road (as it stiffens the spring)., But when the car is sitting it moves to the position the spring wants it to have.
