Shock absorbers

It's time to upgrade. I can buy either Monroe sensatrac or KYB gasadjust for roughly the same $$. Are either one significantly better or worse for a '62 application? Thanks, Bob

Always have felt that Monroes are valved too softly (minimal control). But no recent history with either. Wonder what everyone else has to say.

Just an option, but see if QA-1 offers an adjustable shock for your car. Best money I have ever spent as far as driveablity goes.
