Jim, I've got the original springs and Micheln Symmetry radials, 215/70-15 on the car with the GR-2's and it rides nice, smoother than my C6...but like anything else, everybodys car is different in some way or another, so it comes down to choice.

I have the Gas-a-just shocks all around on my '62 and they are ALMOST too stiff. Would rather have something a little softer, but too cheap to experiment. Bob
