Shocks

I'm looking for road handling shocks (not offroad).

I don't really want to spend $85 on Hotchkis tuned Bilsteins (especially
when I have stock suspension. Pep Boys has KYB Gas A Justs for $24.95 in
the front. They don't have a listing for the rear. But PST does for $35.
Pep Boys also has the KYB GR2's for $44.95. Are these any good? They can
also order Rancho's, but I always thought of these as an off road shock.

I've seen Edelbrock's and Tokico's for about $65

Another question, is there any difference between R/T shocks and V8 2wd
shocks from the factory? How about the sway bars? I have the little rear
bar from the Tire and handling package. Does the R/T have something better
front and back?

Just trying to work out a bargain performance suspension that I can still
tow and haul with. If I didn't care about that, I'd go pure Hotchkis. And
my towing requirements are every bit of 6700lbs! (Heavy trailer, with
tools, tireracks, fluids, and of course a 69 Road Runner).
