Review: The Goldilocks Zone - For those of you wanting a simple review, these are great shocks. The rest I will share in detail. I bought these for an 80's gm b body - All stock. Initially, I had bought Monroe "OESpectrum" and they were less than desireable and waaaay too floaty. Amazing if you drive less than 45mph on perfectly smooth roads. My passenger front also crapped out after 1 year and started leaking. Next I went to the extreme and put used Bilsteins in out of my dads old 95' caprice wagon and they were waaaay too stiff for me and the less than perfect roads I drive on. (Although great highway control & cornering). I put KYB's on all four corners & these are a perfect halfway point between the prior two mentioned. Theyre soft enough to still provide comfort and stiff enough to keep that body roll to a minimum. All in all 10/10 at such a great price. Use this experience to consider what kind of ride you want out of your baby.

I replaced the front one's when I did the front brakes a year ago, and these are the matching ones for the rear. The KYB Gas Adjust shocks seem to work well on these older performance cars along with radial tires. I have used them on other cars and been pleased. The price and shipping was great also. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/7001137-343130-excel-g-gas-shock](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/7001137-343130-excel-g-gas-shock) --- *Product available on Desertcart Great Britain* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-01*
