Hey Guys i`m in the process of restoring my `67 Buick Skylark GS and i`m going with Hotchkis rear control arms and springs,global west suspension with QA1 coil over set up up front unless suggested otherwise,but i`m looking to get some suggestions for rear shocks,i was thinking either QA1 or Bilstein`s,what do you guys suggest?

Thanks

I am running QA-1 single adjustables on mine....I have yet to get the car out on the road since I am still working on it. Alot of guys will tell you Varishock, makes a nice shock.

Good luck with your search

If you're running the Hotchkis springs then get the Hotchkis Bilstein shocks, they are valved for the spring rates and will work very well. The price is right too.

You can't go wrong using the Chris Alston Vari-Shock. I have QA1's on the front and there junk in comparision.
