I need to select a shock to use on my 67 beetle. The car will be a cruiser rather than a racer so I don't need to go to adjustables.. I want a fairly stiff ride.. What do I purchase?.. Thanks

my car came with Bilsteins on the back & KYB on the front, which is supposedly a very good combination, not overly stiff, gives a very good ride & excellent handling.

Please, I need drivers side window regulator (winder mechanism) for my '54
