What are everyone’s experiences/opinions on the best struts and shocks to put on a TC?

I’ve been using MONROE all the years that I was in business, I still have several sets on the shelves in my garage for all our old MOPARS.

Any for the rear of the TC? All I can find is KYBs.

No, I almost never replace rear shocks unless they are completely worn out. I like the soft rear suspension feel. I drive alone and don’t do any ‘tricks’ with this car. It’s my long distance cruiser.

KYBs are good shocks, just don't get them too hard, it tends to make the car loose.

Thanks. I feel the same way. The TC is my touring car. It’s not a GLHS or an M3.

I replaced original, leaking front struts with KYBs on one of my 16v cars.  Even though the rears were also original I left them in as they did not SEEM to be exhibiting any signs of undue wear.  This was a mistake as under spirited driving the rear tires rubbed.  If you go the same route, no pun intended,  be prepared to also do the rears.

 

Anyone interested in track/autocross use should go to coilovers which work very well, but are not worth the extra $ for street use.

Thank you NILE for your informative update, i totally agree with your recomendations. Are you coming to the TCA Owners Meet?

While the agenda has some topics I am very  interested in, my wife has some medical appointments scheduled during that time, so obviously my priorities are here.
