Shocks
Want to replace the shocks on this 66. There must be other posts on this but I can't find them. If anyone can direct me to them, I'd appreciate it. Or any thoughts on Bilstein HD or SP. Thanks.

I changed out my 2 year Delco's for the Bilstein HD's back in January. I did a report back then. Just search Bilstein vs Delco. The ride is slightly firmer but the car really feels better at interstate speeds. They are pricy but I like them. My springs are stock.

Thanks
for the input. HD's seem to be the way to go. That was quick.
In looking at the GM service manual for shock replacement, it looks like they can be done with the wheels on and loaded. Am I reading that right?
