Default 69 Firebird 400 front shocks...KYB, Monroe, Gabriel, any favorites and why?

So sure, as soon as I fix the cooling system, the front shocks start to squeak going over a speed bump in the parking lot.

I guess the fronts are KYB, but they're 10-11 years old. I would say I need a "better than stock performance" shock, but not track or racing.

The Bird has the TA sized front sway bar, a rear sway bar, and the full TA suspension upgrades already.

Everyone has an opinion on front shocks....any reason to go with anything more exotic than KYB shocks (KYB KG4515 Gas-A-Just) or move up to the shocks from Monroe 58273 Load Adjusting, they have col springs around the shock tube.

Pontiac suspension gurus...let's hear it!

It's a 69 400 with factory A/C, auto trans, 3.55 gears, variably ration P/S, front power disc brakes.

Thanks if advance!

Jim
