Rear Shocks Suggestions for '67 Bug

What say y'all? And while y'all are at it, front shocks as well.

If it is a tad saggy in the rear I would go for KYB Gas shocks, gives a tiny lift, and are very reasonably prised. For the front you want soft shocks, go for Cofab(p?), cheap and does the job.

Thanks. I'm normally solo but every now and then, my wife is in the front seat and my two teen daughters are in the back.

It should read "Priced" above.

A -67 which has seen regular use will probably be a little lower in the rear compared to when new. The KYB's gives a little lift, not much by any means, perhaps a 1/4 - 1/2".

When used on my -56 T1 they took out a bit of the sag, worked great! Just DO NOT use them up front, hard to find anything more suitable than stock spec. Cofab's. This is related to damper rate and ratio(In/Out), they need to be soft on compression and not that stiff on decompression either. All because of the very light front end.

You're right, it does sag a little. Too busy this weekend to install but hopefully next. I will update when I can. Thanks again.
