If you have the money I'd get the QA1 12 point adjustable shocks. It's what I'm getting, only in coilover trim.

:iagree: I'm putting a set on my '77 soon, and my buddy just put a set on his '77, and he loves them. The car is smoother on rough roads, and holds the road better in tight turns :thumbs:
