Best shocks for daily driving a 69 Camaro

[Rod P]

KYB were good 20 years ago, I agree

Bilsteins were good 10 years ago, I agree

technology has moved on and even companies that used Bilstein have moved on realizing the value in the newest advances, Detroit speed has dropped AFCO and moved to JRI, and Hotchkis has dropped Bilstein and now use Fox Shocks, and Ridetech worked with Fox for a long time to bring there shock to market years ago

your suspension will work the best with the best shocks for your suspension

Which shock would you recommend for a 80% street with some auto cross and track day time?

Oh and Ron looking forward to your book(s) and your shop to come online.

I like Bilstein. I wonder if Hotchkis realized any cost savings when they went to Fox. I am guessing they didn't take a cut in their profit margins....

I completely agree! However they are soooo far behind the offerings from todays venders that it hardly even matters lol.

Can you buy the ridetech shocks in a non adjustable version and then upgrade them to a single or double as time/money/knowledge permits like you can with a JRI? I know the JRI's for my 07 Z06 are $750 a corner for a double adjustable shock. That's pretty reasonable for that quality of shock.

The picture shows Bilstein shocks, but the ad states Fox.

AFCO is a good option and more economical.
