Maybe I'm stating the obvious here, but regarding Delco spiral shocks,...they were junk from day one. If we could get 20K miles out of them that was terrific and about as good as could be expected. My one owner 45K '72 Esprit still had the originals. Looked and looked for a good spiral design but ended up going with modern Delco branded low pressure gas shocks and am very happy with the improved ride quality and smooth freeway performance.
So for over-restored trailer queens, spiral shocks are a must have. But for my fair weather drivers, at least having the correct branded replacements is plenty good enough.
