On the '83 I have KYB's on the front, HD's on the rear (with wagon springs). I'm very happy with the way the car rides and handles. On the 123's, the shocks are really (REALLY!) easy to change. The Japanese shocks have been on there for a couple years, now, and are still doing great. This car is something of a garage queen though, as I only drive it from July to October, and only occasionally, then.

When it comes time to replace the dampers on the front of the 124, though, I'm going to use HD's. As the job is quite a bit more involved, I want to put the Bilsteins on and forget about them for 10 years....

Jay.
