1969 mustang shocks
« on: June 18, 2022, 07:53:12 pm »
Hi all,

I'm doing a bunch of research on shocks for my 69, KYB comes up a lot, does anyone have any experience with this brand? Open to opinions and recommendations.

Thanks

The  KYB gas a strut is a little to stiff for your everyday road car.   Take a look at the non adjustable koni"s or adjustable ones if your wallets bigger.


Ask me how I know....

Koni or Bilstien.

I agree, the usual 'white' KYB that seems a common fitment on Mustangs over controls the spring IMO. That's with a SB and PS, no A/C.
I substituted Gabriels from an online supplier, inexpensive, am very happy with them.
