Lots of votes for KYB's. I'm sure others will chime in.

My '89 had the hardest ride when I got it. It would almost hop sideways over bumps. I replaced the dry rotted tires which helped some. I then replaced 30k mile bilstiens with new ones that were not 10 years old and the ride is perfect now.

The Edelbrocks are good for ride softness.

Chris Petris advises his customers to use Bilsteins as a good all-around shock.

You didn't mention price. If price is not an urgent issue, you could get some adjustable shocks. The most popular around here are the KONI and the QA1's. Obviously more money, but they go from soft to performance with the turn of a ****.
