Rear Shock replacement
Just making sure i'm not missing something... rear shock swap on my 69 Firebird should be simple deal. Supports in trunk look solid enough. Everything looks good at the springs, other than the tired springs of course. But that is another story! I figure I'll put on the KYB shocks, they aren't that much more money. Then I will have "high performance". Not much to a rear shock but am I missing something?

It's been 20+ years since I've replaced mine, but I think it took 30 minutes to replace them.

I had KYBs on my 67 and found them to be pretty stiff on rough roads. A few years ago I changed them out for QA1 adjustable and I'm really happy with those. These are the ones I bought,
