Advice Sought on Shocks

[The73vetteman]

Thinking of replacing my rear shocks when I rebush the strut rods, and I have two questions for all you ride and handlng gurus:

1. should I do all four shocks at the same time, or is it OK to do just the rears?

2. I'd actually like to soften the ride a little and am looking for a recommendation for shocks. Searching past posts the view seems to be that Bilsteins are best but Monroe Sensa-tracs are a more economical options. Anyone got any further thoughts on this?

Well, since no one else has chimed in, I'll give you my .02.
I'd do all 4 to keep the balance the same. As far as a softer ride, I've always thought the ride is more controlled by your springs than the shocks. I've heard that some recommend the Sensa tracks and of course the Blistein also has a strong following. All that said, I put the KYB's in mine.
