To all my fellow C3'ers:

If cost is not an issue, go with the Bilsteins. I have them on my 79 Vette and LOVE them. I also just put a set on my 96 Dodge Ram pickup and it's like getting a new truck! In fact, it rides and handles BETTER than new! The only reason for going with the other shocks is to save money. If you get them, you will NOT be disappointed!

My '79 is pretty much stock and I use it as a "driver." The KYB's I have on it are just fine and I spent the savings on yet another Corvette project.

I've got Bilsteins...Love'em...

Another vote for Bilstein's.  3 month old KYB's were replaced with Bilsteins and the difference in ride and handling were outstanding.

Go Bilsteins you are not wasting your money

I rebuilt the front an rear on the 75 I put Bilsteins shocks on and they work great. The ride great. I now am working the 72 and will put the Bilsteins shocks  on it also. YOU WONT GO WRONG WITH BILSTEINS. Good luck.

What Bilsteins did you all go with? Heavy Duty or Sport?

 I have yellow BILs on mine, GREAT ride and Handle.

I used H/D  the sport are more for the track use.

Its funny, my 70 has the Bil's my 81 has the KYB's - Both cars have a 350 monoleaf.  They are both great shocks BUT the Bils IMHO are a better shock for all around use
