Hi,
Someone posted a question the other day about tube shock conversions in the
middle of an e-mail. I was hoping for a whole slew of replies, as I am
considering the same thing, but I think it got buried by other stuff...
I have to do some work on the rear suspension of my 72 B--replacing the pads,
bushings (getting the poly ones; opinions on these are welcome too), bolts and
I was wondering if it would be worthwhile to put in one of the tube shock
conversion kits while I have the rear taken apart. The stock shocks are still
in working order, springs are still provide adequate ride height, and the car
will be used for 90% regular driving. [Monroe vs. Spax vs. standard, and
performance versus $$ spent.]
Also, if doing the conversion, I don't have the $$ handy to do the whole car at
once. Will it be unsafe/unpleasant to drive with converted suspension on the
rear, stock on the front? Any tips on what is the best all-around
configuration?
Thanks in advance.
Michael
