Fantasic ride

Put these on the rear of my 80 corvette and I could not believe the difference in the ride.

Exactly as advertised nice finish and quality

I already had KYB gas shocks on the rear of my Corvette so I knew they would be awesome! When installing them make sure you attach from the bottom before removing safety strap as the gas charge is strong and they extend to full length fast. Fit was perfecta and the ride and launch are so good!
