Default Front Shock Recommendation for Stock 73 BB

I have a stock setup in a 73 BB. I need to replace the shocks. Need recommendations.

I like the Bilstein HD's. Many run Bilstein Sports which I tried, but they're a bit quick and a bit choppy.

The HD's are perfect for my tastes.

I run Bilstein HD's in the front with my 550 springs and Bilstein Sports (orginally had the HD's in the rear, but the sports are 30% stiffer) with a 360 monospring. They are perfect!-ride great and improved handling!I have had GM Delcos, Koni's, and KYB's over the last 25 years and the Bilsteins are by far the best!

Default Shcoks

Pop for the Koni single adjustables. They have to be removed to be adjusted, but you'll find a setting you like.
