I did a search but didn't find what I needed. I have a 69 Camaro, Hotchkis TVS. This car will have limited street use, no track or drag racing.Mostly just for looks but I might drive it some. What would some of you that have the TVS suggest for shocks? I have been looking about some QA-1 Stocker Star would they be a good choice?
Thanks, Robert

I hear the Edelbrocks are really good shocks.
That's what I am going with when the car is done.

the hotchkis re-valved biltsteins are made for your rear springs.

I've considered the Bilstiens linked above. Are they really that hideous yellow/blue? Ugh!

Paint what ever you buy to your liking. The 'classic' edelbrocks IAS shocks look nice in gray.
If bling is your thing, the QA1s or VariShocks by Alston/ChassisWorks (http://www.scandc.com/varishocks.htm) are nice looking. The Alstons are better shocks by all accounts.

Thank you to everyone. After further consideration the QA-1 is not what I need or want,I will call Hotchkis and see what they reccomend. I don't want to be adjusting shocks when its done I just want to able to drive it .
Thanks again ,
Robert
