Which shocks would you guys recommend to run on the rear of a 75 Super with a lowered front end with Topline Struts?

For track or road use, and is the back of the car lowered too ???
For road my vote would be either KYB GR-2's or Gas-a-just's, while for track I'd go with a set of Bilstein's... gas in all three cases.
Some people swear by using oil shocks still - Monroe's or similar, but I've never run them myself.

Hi, Ive got topline struts as well, with stock torsions in the back and the KYB GR2. (the ones that used to be silver, black now)
I had new cofap (i think?) oil shocks in there for a while and it didn't match the front at all, car feels 100% better with the kyb's. For the price they work well.

Koni adjustables for the rear.
That way you can have a smooth street setting then adjust dampning up or down for track work.
Cheers Col

I have a 75L as well
V Force struts up front
130lb springs - but they are different to what Topline say is the rating
Rears - KYB GR2's (i think - but sure they are white) on the back with Type 3 torsion bars

Where did you source your shocks from? I am also running an uprated front anti-roll bar and will be fitting a rear one also once I have fitted the rear 3-point brace and mid-transmission bracket.

Forgot to add that the rear is not lowered at this stage - might drop it slightly later on as I don't want it to bottom out on the bump stops.Sides wrote:For track or road use, and is the back of the car lowered too ???
