I used to run adjustable KYBs on my mustang with Eibach springs and I thought they were ok. Blistien are nice though. Did you have the adjustable KYBs?

I had the gas-adjust KYBs. I put the Bilstein Sport shocks on the Vette first and that was a great improvment.

Putting Bilstein Sport shocks on the Thunderbird was the best thing I've done so far. It drives and handles so MUCH better. KYBs just didn't cut it.

Uh, Bilstein shocks are a Chevy part? Aren't they OE on a bunch of Euro Marques? Now putting a SBC in a Ford is clearly an improvement.

Actually, a part made for a CHEVY. How's that?
