Suspension/shocks
I have a 1968 datsun 2000. I would like to change the shocks. I run pretty close to stock wheels. Any suggestions? I’m not against changing more than shocks. Chris

Re: Suspension/shocks
Agreed... yes, they are spendy, but in my experience they transform the car such that you'll be thankful every time you hit a rough patch, especially if you're in a corner. I used to monitor the road closely for bad pavement (comp suspension for 34 years with every version of shocks available). Now I just enjoy the drive.
FWIW!
