73-74 front shocks

[zsn0w]

Any recommendations for front shocks for a 1974 roadrunner? There aren't many options out there from what I can tell. Don't need anything super fancy, just want something that'll ride okay and handle okay. Looking for middle of the road between performance and driveability. What I'm seeing available are just KYB Gr2's, Monroe monro-matics, and Gabriel guardians... None seem that great, but I guess the monroe is probably the way to go if these are my only options? About double the price, but I'd assume worth it over the others? Anyone know of others available out there?

You could go with Bilsteins but I believe 74 will be like 73 and you have to widen the opening in the top of the lower control arm. I had to do it on mine.

Which bilsteins would I use for this? The 71-72 ones?

There must be something wrong with their website. I see the link I attached is saying that, but if you start from scratch and choose a 74 Roadrunner it says it does fit. Also, when you click on the fitment tab, it says 1974 Plymouth Roadrunner. I just checked the Bilstein website and it says there aren't any products for a 1974 Roadrunner. I also check a 72 Charger and it said the same thing. Something isn't right. Probably best to call PST.

Here is the link to the available Bilsteins for our vehicle. There was a glitch on the website that has been corrected:

James, do you have to modify the 74 lower control arm for the Bilsteins to fit like idrivemopar had to do on his 73?

No these are a direct bolt in. No modifying is required.
