Shocks

Hi all
looking to replace AC Delco shocks on my stock 78. Looking for recommendations for a good cruising shock. Thanks

Bilstien's. Great shocks. Heaps better than the AC Delcos

How did you like the AC Delco's BTW?

Were they double-acting? (dampen on both stroke directions)

Smooth Ride = Monroe Sensa Trak...not designed for high speed curves / just cruising.

Ac delcos suck if you really drive the car. The rubber on mine failed within a year. Warranty a joke. Bilsteins to start would have been worth it.

Didn’t like to much. Honestly not sure on the double-acting
