I installed a full set of Bilstein HD shocks about a year ago on my '70 164(less than 3k miles). After a recent bone-stock 240 purchase, I am finding the more I drive the 164, the more I feel the Bilsteins are too stiff for my completely stock suspension setup. I would like to try stock shocks, but where can I find them? Monroe and Boge both no longer carry full sets for my 164. Konis are appealing for their adjustability, but would they be soft enough for what I am looking for?
On the other hand, I have already ground the lower control arms to get the Bilsteins to fit, so should I try re-valving the shocks? If I go this route, how do I establish what to ask for in the re-valve?
Thanks,
Nick
