How is the rest of the suspension setup?
It takes more than just good shocks to make a classic Mustang handle well.

 

[Henceforward]

Here are a few options...

Edelbrock Performer IAS Series
PN# 33214
PN# 34214

Koni Red ~$120 each
Front 82-1388 SP3
Rear 82-1389

Rancho adjustable's--$109/per

Don't leave out Bilsteins. Just put on a set with the new Maier leaf's. It is firm, but not harsh. They handle well, and with the new leafs and poly bushings, the car is on a rail!

They come in different dampning's, I went with the street version and am very happy with them.

I like the Bilsteins but do they make shocks for the front?

Second place would be Koni, next Edelbrocks, Qa1's, with the rest of the more common aftermarket shocks being distantly last.

Yes, they make front and rear...you can check them out at Maier Racing or Mustang Depot.

Thanks for the info, but I guess I am stuck with QA1's for my 71.

I have KYB(Kayaba) Gas-A-Justs so far on the stock springs and they're pretty good. They're not adjustable, but they don't cost a fortune either and work well. Soon I'll have 620lb front springs and new rear leafs so it should be even better.

The Edelbrocks require some modification for the front shock tower caps to get them to fit. If you don't mind grinding a little they fit ok. I have not driven my car yet, so I can't tell you how it rides or handles, but I liked the Edelbrock shocks I put on the rear.
