Shock and coil overs

[90hurst/oldsguy]

What brand shocks/coil overs are good for the g body with a big block olds .

I've never heard of any brand being ineffective or 'no good'.

Viking, QA1 are good choices. The motor/drivetrain combination is relatively irrelevant other than weight of the components and intended use of the car imo.

Are you looking for handling or drag race capability?

I just ordered a set of QA1 Pro Series Double adjustable coilovers for my Cutlass. I will report back when I have them installed!

Coil overs are somewhat overkill. Comes down to your budget. IMO proper suspension maintenance and good shocks will get you by for normal use. With that in mind I'd recommend Bilstein shocks and replacement of all bushings and steering components that are worn.

If you can swing the cost of coil overs though, then have at it.

I had order a set of Bilstein shocks but cancelled due to them being on back order
