I used to run them. They are good handeling shocks and work real well on the street. The only reason why i switched shocks was so i could run adjustable drag shocks.

Nice car by the way.

The only reason I picked Gabriel Striders over KYB's is because I wanted adjustability. Nothing against the KYB's, but the Gabriel Striders have worked well for me.

69fastback, thanx for the complement on the car and the input on the shocks.
Rev, are the gabriels adjustable while on the car, or do you have to remove them to adjust them?

Rev, I went to Gabriel's webite, I can not find a "strider" model.
Are they fairly new maybe? I could care less what shcok I run, just as long as I hear some people have had good results with them. SO if anyone else likes the shocks they run, speak up if ya want too.

i personally have never cared for adjustable shocks unless i was going racing, and then it would be koni's. i used kyb's on an old fairmont, and i am planning them for my 66 mustang when i get that far. i like them.
