haha...probably an easy one to answer. I always drive for pleasure and am never driving my 67 400 convertible above 75 on the highway. Most of the time, it's backroads and ice cream.
The big issue (for me) is the terrible New England roads. Nearly every road is littered with pot holes and frost heaves. I'm looking for a more 'sporty' feel, but I do not want a harsh ride while on a pleasure cruise. I don't show the car (well, maybe an occasional cars and coffee).
I'm sure that the basic OEM shock will do its job. But everything I read suggests that Koni classic Reds offer a much better driving experience. These cars were designed around hydraulic shocks, so I just figured that a hydraulic shock would be more appropriate (vs gas).
Again, I don't race....I'm a pleasure cruiser. But it's a firebird 400 after all, and should at least have some ability to be driven more spiritedly in corners without body roll and float.
