I am installing a LARS faster steering box, and the HP spec springs (Coil Spring Specialists) and an Addco sway bar. I am not the type that needs to wear string back driving gloves when I get in my car. I just want to bring the handling up to a more modern standard. My car has excellent OE spec shocks and - as designed - it's floaty. I don't recall having these feelings about my '63 when I drove it in the early 80s, but modern cars' capabilities have moved the bar up w/regard to modern highway traffic, and I think the changes will be worth it. So, you can go way of the Monroe OE Spectrum or the Bilsteins, but I wanted members to know the previously recommended KYBs as an "in between" choice is a no go. Hope it helps.
