Wonder if anyone can advise on Bilstein or Koni shocks for an 80 series Cruiser? Can't make up my mind which are best? Anyone know how good aKoni's are ? Must fit a new set as the originals are 170k old and dud ! Standard
suspension ride height must be maintained or it wont fit into the garage !

If I remember rightly Bilsteins are a single tube shock, which is great on road cars. This mean the piston runs on the inside of the tube you look at which is excellent for cooling. However, if you ding the tube (as we often do) then the shoch is a throw away job :(
Check with then to see if they still are single tube. BTW, I'm saving up for Ranchos.
