Default C3 Shocks
Has anybody tried the KYB Gas-A-Just shocks on their C3? Thinking about putting them on my '74. Please let me know your thoughts.
Thanks

I had a set years ago, and they didn't last very long.
Depending on how much you drive your car, your financial situation, etc., they might be ok.
If you drive more than a few thousand miles a year, I'd get Bilsteins (I did).
