Shocks for GTV

[Dan Walker <dawnanddan@domain.elided>]

Greetings Alfisti,

I'm probably revisiting an old thread, but here goes.

I am doing a thorough rebuild/upgrade of the suspension of my 74 GTV.  I 
purchased springs from Dave Rugh Engineering.  Using stock f&r swaybars for 
now.

The only question is which shocks to use.  I have received recommendations 
for Koni reds ( set on full soft in the rear and halfway to firm in the 
front ), no recommendations for Koni yellow sport setting,  Sachs sporting 
Gas ( but can't find'em for sale anywhere ), and of course for 
Bilstein.  Dave Rugh HIGHLY recommends Bilstein and says his springs were 
designed as a system with those shocks in mind ( although he won't 
elaborate as to WHY ? ) .

My Duetto has Centerline springs  (which are firmer than Rugh's ) and red 
Konis set as they came out of the box.  The ride is firm but the roads here 
in socal are good. I have no idea how this car would be on the track, which 
is where the GTV will go someday.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Ciao,

Dan
