Here, let me do Bernd's line for you.
"PRO-COMP!"
Really, I put 'em on my truck, and I've been happy. (I don't offroad.
Well, not on purpose.) $30 apiece.

Subject: DML: 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).
