Riviera63 Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 (edited) I have for sale a used set of 4 NAPA OE Spectrum Sensa Trac shock absorbers for the 1963-1965 Riviera. Rear 5160ST and front 5759ST. These were taken off of my 1963 Riviera just this week. I had absolutely no problems or complaints with these shocks. These were removed as I decided to install Bilsteins. The shocks were installed on my car in 2014. They have 10,000 gentle, mostly highway miles on them. They are still usable and I cannot bring myself to throw them away. Offer plus shipping. PM me if interested. Thanks. Bill Edited July 14, 2020 by Riviera63 revise text (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

telriv Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 They are a far cry above what has been available except for maybe the KYB's. They will stiffen the car up as far as ride & handling. To me NOT a bad thing. Something a little softer were the KYB's & priced competitively also as less costly than the Bilsteins. The next logical step up is sway bars if you want to go around corners at a good clip Ask the Turbinator as I installed a rear bar on his last year. Then ask Riviera63, Bill, in a few weeks after his shocks & sway bars are installed. Back in late '69 early '70 I worked with a guy at ADDCO & we designed a rear sway bar for my '64 Riv. To my dismay what they replaced it with I found out that it was NO WHERE NEAR what was originally designed. I went through a lot of hassle removing mine & sending it to be copied. Now we have a rear bar that is as close to a bolt-on than you can get. Fits '63-'65 & maybe '66 Rivs. as well as Full Size cars from '61 to at least '65 maybe further up in the years.
