Default adjustable front shocks ???

why can't i buy 90-10 shocks for the front of this car??

It also looks like the shock is the travel limiter for the down position and the leaf limits the highest up position? Is this true? Or does the shock limit both?

If i can't buy 90-10 adjustable shocks what do you guys recommend?

The shock on my '95 is the limiting factor during droop, but don't know about compression. I've seen the Koni's recommended and purchased them myself. They're a quality unit, if spendy.

I just installed a set of Edelbrock IAS shocks and I love them! No change in handling but much smoother and a much better all around feel for the road. Contact Edelbrock at their 800 # and order a free copy of the tape which describes the shock. It may be just what you're looking for.
