depends on what your looking for. If you want a very firm ride then they be perfect for you otherwise go to the GR-2's by kyb

I've had them for years, but I only put about 2000 miles per year.

A bit too stiff for something driven every day. I wish I'd spent the extra for the Edelbrock IAS's. They do perform well though.

I drove my 67 every day for 7 years with a full set and I liked them just fine:P They handle great, and they're pretty cheap. That said, they are very stiff, and I'm not the kind of guy that cares much about a rough ride.

I recently switched to Edelbrock IAS's all the way around and I absolutely love them. HUGE improvement in ride quality, and if anything they handle better than the Gas-A-Justs did. Smooth on rough roads, firm on flat roads and cornering, just like advertised.

I tried the KYB, GR2's all around. They are a good low cost choice.

They do great on decent roads, but we have a lot of crappy stretches of road around here. The Gas-A-Justs can be very jarring on craptastic roads.
