I've had them for awhile and finally got them on 2 weeks back. Convinced my son to help me too so some bonding happened. I think it had cheap monroes on it before with HD bars and springs. It would float and wallow and hit the bump stops or rub the rear tires on big bumps.
Now, it's not a modern sports car, but it feels MUCH more controlled over big whoop-t-doos.

I'm convinced they are worth the money.
 
They sure are.
Their ability to soak up small road imperfections while still responding properly to brake dive and acceleration lift is really great.
 
Great news on the Bilsteins! I have a 69 Charger RT that needs new shocks bad. Can you share any info on them (part#?) and where did you purchase them? These would be stock replacement shocks right? Thanks!
 
AGREE 100%, installed all four on my 69 Charger this summer, fit like a dream and waaaaay better!! Also eliminated a bunch of nuisance squeaks and groans along the way.

Taco, if nobody responded, shoot me a DM and I will hook you up on purchase info
 
I went from .89 torsion bars and KYB shocks to 1.03 bars and Bilsteins on my `72 Barracuda and it not only handles way better it rides much nicer as well.
 
I have Bilesteins on my 70 Road Runner. Mind you, I upgraded the stock suspension in a few small ways (Firm Feel and limited polyurethane), but the car handles great and is a joy to drive!
 
I have a set in my cart at PST gonna add them to the rest of the new suspension and steering parts going on this winter. good to hear all the positive results.
 
Yep, PST. Members get a discount, just ask.

@Fishtaco1969 They worked wonders on my 69 GTX.

Put a set a Bilsteins on my boys car and they are good but the Vikings I put on my Charger are flat out awesome!
 
Bilsteins were already installed in my 70 Duster 340 when I bought it. What a nice firm, but comfortable ride for an A body. I am impressed.

Thanks for sharing, I’m planning to run the same combo on my ‘67 GTX clone. Good info!
 
I haven’t gotten around to doing my car yet. I plan to order from Bergman Autocraft.

I used to really love edelbrock shocks, hope these work similar.

Another good upgrade I’ll pass along is the ford ball joint style sway bar links. Cheap and easy.
 
I have Edelbrocks on my car. Great ride, been on about 15-17 yrs.
I considered those before buying the Bilsteins. The Edelbrocks went out of production though and none were available.
 
Had bilsteins on my 68 Coronet. Struggled for a long time with shocks. Bilsteins fixed all the issues. I will never look at shocks the same way. Bilsteins here on out for all my shock needs.
