Hey guys. I been reading and checkin out the pics for a while now. Thought it was about time I threw in my 2cents. I got a 65 bug thats been thru many incarnations from sw/axle to irs to 002 and finally091 w/coilovers. I saw So.Cals Big Bear trip and I know this is my kinda fun.
I take my car and folks from work with their 4Xs and go from Lucerne to Laughlin regularly(once at night) and we always have a blast. Would like to hook up with others for play days

What are you guys using for front shocks? Mine has the old coil overs on front too so I have not posted any pics til I get them off.

I have Bilstein class 11's. Much better than the KYB's, IMHO.

Ok, I was about ready to go with KYBs.

KYB's are cheaper, but if you ever cut and turn your front end (or add adjusters), they won't work. KYB's (Gas-Adjusts) are stiff, but I like the Bilstein valving better. Not as much of a buck-board ride.

Why not? Mines cut n turned 1/4" with KYB's.
