Are these EDL-34214 the correct rear shocks for the 67 coupe? The top looks right with the Post mount but does the bottom use a Post mount also? I thought the bushings and bolt went in from the side like a standard bolt mount. Could be wrong as we replaced shocks in 2 other cars the day I removed them and the rear from our car and forget.

Don't have my manual with me and not at the car to look.

 

There should be a stud on both the top and the bottom. They have the donut shaped bushings with 2 washers and a nut.

 

Great thanks. Just wanted to make sure I got the correct parts... exactly what the Summit photo displays. Was browsing over at Jegs and they must be using a stock/generic photo because the same shock doesn't have the posts (studs).

Just made me stop and think something was wrong. Thanks again.

 

Once you get them installed post how you like the ride. I have them in my car and I'm not impressed with the ride quality at all,especially for the cost.

 

What don't you like about them? Is everything else stock, installed front and back, soft ride or hard? I've heard a lot of people like them though a very few haven't.

 

Yeah, why don't you like them? I put them in my 67 and I absolutely love them. Smoother ride than my Gas-A-Justs and they handle better.

 

My suspension was lowered 1" in the front and left stock height in the rear. Before I put the IAS' on I had air shocks in the rear and honestly I don't think they ride much better. A guy in my local club works on Mustangs professionally and I talked to him about switching to a coil spring rear suspension, he suggested I dump the Ed's for a set of Koni's instead.

 

Expect Koni's to be much stiffer.

The advantage to Edelbrocks is that you get improved handling without sacrificing ride quality. On rough roads, an internal valve opens allowing fluid to flow faster, allowing the suspension to soak up the bumps and dips. On smoother roads, the valve closes to slow down fluid flow and reduce body roll.

 

If your concerned by ride quality then I'd see about replacing the IAS shocks under warranty. From everything I've read about the Koni's your ride quality will diminish and be quite harsh while driving.

 

i was looking into the IAS' for my '65. originally it was between those and a set of bilsteins all around.

Ive decided screw it and im just getting a decent but CHEAP set of shocks. I only drive the car about 1,000 miles a year so i dont need anything crazy, plus everything else is stock (literally)
